What's the cause of this crash ? Anything I should do to prevent it ?

Answer 1

NSURLConnectionLoader probably has nothing to do with it.

Most likely, your app is woken up by traffic on its TCP signaling socket. Typically, a VoIP (SIP?) server sends keep-alive messages every once in a while. An overly aggressive server can unwillingly kill the client by unsuspending it up like this too often.

Either make sure the server isn't sending (SIP) keep-alives too often, or use the BackgroundTask API to prevent the app from suspending so soon after every unsuspend. This way, you can keep the number of unsuspends down (at the cost of battery consumption).

Not exactly sure how/why but updating to a newer version of AsiHttp solved the issue.

Answer 3

It appears you are talking to a URL when you are going to background. If so, then add some shared cache to your NSURL implementation and if you are using NSURLRequest then increase the timeoutInterval value.

If none is the case, then deal it as a background task. For, background task : you may refer to Background Task Handling.
