WinRt exception when page navigated

[davide-cavallini]

Description

When the app navigate between two pages randomly crashes.
In the second page my app is trying to deserialize a json file to runtime create the UI.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the sample
2. Navigate for a while from "MainPage" to "Page2"
3. Watch the app crash

To speed up the process I've used a tool for automatic clicking ([https://tinytask.net/download.html])

Link to public reproduction project repository

https://github.com/davide-cavallini/WinRtExceptionTest

Version with bug

8.0.40 SR5

Is this a regression from previous behavior?

Not sure, did not test other versions

Last version that worked well

Unknown/Other

Affected platforms

Windows

Affected platform versions

No response

Did you find any workaround?

Didn't find a specific workaround, but calling Task.Sleep(n) before navigation seems to reduce the frequency of exception happening.

Hi @davide-cavallini, I can't open your sample link. Can you reattach the sample to help us reproduce the error? Thank you for your patience.

[davide-cavallini]

Hi @jaosnz-rep.
The repo was private. Now it's public.
My bad, sorry for the inconvenience.

[jaosnz-rep]

Using sample project and automatic click tools can reproduce this issue at Windows platform. Usually, you need to click repeatedly to dozens of times. The test version 8.0.40.

[Adan0s]

We're experiencing a similiar issue only on windows when navigating back via Shell.Current.GoToAsync(".."). Sometimes it takes 20 navigations back and forth, sometimes five. Stacktrace ends with System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException without any message.

We have experienced this and came up with a workaround. The initial fix was creating our own StackNavigationManager that would navigate with Polly retries with just repeating the setting of the page's content, if that fails then the process is repeated with a new mauicontext.

To use this handler, register it builder.ConfigureMauiHandlers(handlers => handlers.AddHandler<NavigationPage, ExtendedNavigationViewHandler>()); If there are others just chain the call.
It was better than before but we have kept getting crashes where VS debugging did not help at all, it would just show the COMException without relevant stacktrace even if we have the pdbs copied to the app and can debug external or native code, so the WinDbg was used to see what is going on. We found out about this microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9070 that would fast kill the process without any chance of recovery. So the workaround is not to use the text services at all until the issue in WinUI3 gets fixed. To disable them use this and call it somewhere during the maui startup.

`///

/// Delete after this is done microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9070
/// Default for and in WinUI is true and for MAUI it also defaults to true.
///

private static void DisableTextServices()
{
// the discarded action calls UpdateIsSpellCheckEnabled but to protect ourselves from future modification in that corresponding action we call it manually
EditorHandler.Mapper.ModifyMapping(nameof(IEditor.IsSpellCheckEnabled), (handler, editor, _) =>
{
((InputView)editor).IsSpellCheckEnabled = false;
((InputView)editor).IsTextPredictionEnabled = false;
handler.PlatformView?.UpdateIsSpellCheckEnabled(editor);
});

    handler.PlatformView?.UpdateIsTextPredictionEnabled(editor);
});

}`

With these two in place the random crashes are gone. But we still get some crashes from our customers where the stacktrace is just COMException without anything relevant to pinpoint the crash place. We suspect that it is due to some memory leaks from CsWinRT, WinUI3 and MAUI but we are not sure because we can not reproduce these crashes in our environment even with restricted VMs.

[IvanStupak]

@qjustfeelitp thanks for your workaround! We also struggled with this issue and implemented something similar. But let's be honest it is terrible that we have to do something like that :(

Could you please elaborate on this:
it seems that it is due to invalid initial XamlRoot, this property can not be changed after it has been set

If I understood correctly, you had this issue even during initial navigation? Because our case is mostly bounded to back navigation and we didn't have to set XamlRoot again and use platform view with new MauiContext. Just re-setting presenter's content solved the issue. Maybe we missed something crucial here?

[qjustfeelitp]

I came up with this workaround 6 months ago and if I remember correctly I put it there only as a fallback if the first retry group fails and setting the new MauiContext helped.

The crashes are bound to back navigation but sometimes it also crashes after navigating back and to some other place.

Yes, it is not superb having to dig in Maui and look for workarounds, we have quite a lot of them, especially for WinUI3.

[Foda]

I'm having a bit of difficulty reproducing this, even with automated tooling. Sorry -- do y'all have a better example?

[ARLasersoft]

Hi @Foda

I am a colleague of Davide who will be away for a few days.
We found and reproduced the error together.
I'll answer for him.

I tried to launch the example again and I still get the error.

I did some tests with workloads for maui-windows for 8.0.7 and 8.0.72 on different machines (Win 10 and 11), debug and release:
. maui-windows 8.0.7/8.0.100 VS 17.9.34723.18, VS 17.9.34723.18
. maui-windows 8.0.72/8.0.100 SDK 8.0.400, VS 17.11.35222.181

Used TinyTask for automating navigation (I used 2x speed).
The only thing that seems relevant is that on a performance PC (I tested with an i7) it happens more rarely.

I get same exception.
What information might be useful for you to reproduce it?

[Foda]

@ARLasersoft I'm pretty much unable to reproduce this on my machine without spending huge amounts of time on it. I've clicked "navigate to page 2" then back to the main page >1000 times without a crash. I also let the automated tool run for >20 mins without it occurring.

Then, I randomly clicked a few times and it triggered. But since then I've been unable to reproduce it over the past 2 days... could you try and reproduce this in a plain WinUI app using the Frame control? Or try and get a more reliable way to reproduce this on a fast machine?

[qjustfeelitp]

@Foda
Here is my repro https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro
here is the memory dump https://fileport.io/3mCwzcmFgatG
and corresponding call stack https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro/blob/main/stack.txt

It's just a simple app as I could not get you our business app which is far more complex and this issue appeared more frequently, if you cannot reproduce it, relaunch the app and try again.

Do you think this is enough?

[IvanStupak]

I believe it's not possible to reproduce this issue in a plain WinUI using Frame control, just because exception occurs when MAUI's StackNavigationManager tries to set content into the page presenter (and it's a good question what was the intense to implement navigation in this way):

maui/src/Core/src/Platform/Windows/StackNavigationManager.cs

Line 183 in 049ec59

presenter.Content = _currentPage.ToPlatform(MauiContext);

Plain WinUI navigation approach with Frame control doesn't need this manipulation and works differently.

[PureWeen]

@IvanStupak do you have an example of implementing it a different way?

[rogerbriggen-securiton]

Our app crashes also every day because of this bug on Windows by just simple navigating between pages and the problem is there since the launch of MAUI

[Yannikk1996]

We encounter this issue occasionally as well, and it can be quite frustrating.

[ARLasersoft]

If it can be useful information, another way to mitigate the frequency of error (please note, mitigate, not avoid) is to place a little delay before navigating:

Task.Delay(300) or Task.Sleep()

Catching the exception is possibile, but at that point navigation no longer works and you need to kill and restart app.

[PureWeen]

If anyone can provide a more consistent repro, exception, or possibly a stack dump when the exception happens that would be helpful.

[Adan0s]

Can't really share my repo, but will try to isolate it in a new repo in the coming days.

Normally it takes between 5-20 navigations back and forth between pages but it will definitely crash after some time. We're using Sentry (and AppCenter) to log our crashes in prod and all windows devices (does not matter if win10 or win11) have daily crashes with the same exception.

In debug two unhandled exceptions will occour before the app crashes:

Then the app will crash/close.

I have saved two memory dumps but they are pretty big (each one 600mb) and I'm not too keen to share them in public, as they'll probably contain some internal info.

I thought that I already provided enough information even with a workaround.
Here is a stacktrace from visual studio https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro/blob/main/visualStudioStack.txt
This one is from WinDbg https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro/blob/main/stack.txt

Here is memory dump https://fileport.io/3mCwzcmFgatG

I updated the code to automate the navigation https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro
If you want to try it with my dumb workaround using retries, enable it here https://github.com/qjustfeelitp/maui-22790-repro/blob/48a59c0ff211d2cf9359ceab450e39927e524df0/src/Maui22790/MauiProgram.cs#L9

I don't think that it is tied to your machine, mine is beefy enough: Procesor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900 with 64 gigs of RAM

If you need more information, please don't hesitate to be specific.
