Few things trigger developer anxiety quite like a crash occurring immediately upon application launch. It is even more frustrating when the crash stems from a third-party dependency intended to generate revenue, such as the Vungle (Liftoff) SDK. If you are seeing immediate terminations with SIGABRT or SIGSEGV signals during didFinishLaunchingWithOptions , or sporadic crashes when the app backgrounds, you are likely facing a race condition during SDK initialization. Furthermore, missing SKAdNetworkItems configurations can cause the SDK to abort initialization entirely, leaving your app in an unstable state. This guide details the root causes of these initialization errors and provides a thread-safe, robust architectural pattern to resolve them in Swift. The Root Cause: Why Vungle Crashes on Launch To fix the crash, we must understand the underlying friction between the iOS application lifecycle and the Vungle SDK's initialization requireme...
