Deadlock on +[ICMBridge load]

I’m moving our app from the old AppDelegate to the new SceneDelegate. I’m now seeing this stack trace before my app even gets to run. It seems to be stuck on a lock that never resolves.

 

This is on a test run, is there a way I can disable loading Intercom while running tests?

 

Why on earth is Intercom attempting to load images on a +load, who thought this was a good idea.

It looks like the swizzle for sceneWillEnterForeground was the culprit, was able to work around it, but would be great if this could be optional. Why do you even need to listen to that event, and please make sure to prevent the running of code when loading the config from disk. Why do you even need to load a config from disk during load time before main even runs

 A deadlock on ICMBridge load can occur due to conflicting resource access by multiple threads or processes.  dish network customer support number  This often happens when two processes are waiting for each other to release resources, resulting in a deadlock situation where neither can proceed. To resolve this, analyze the code to identify and adjust resource locking mechanisms, ensuring proper synchronization to prevent deadlocks during ICMBridge load operations.    
 

Thanks brandon3, but please refrain from ChatGPT style answers since it doesn’t know about the context the question comes in. In this case, the Intercom SDK is closed source, so developers don’t have access to see what the code is actually doing.
