Oh man this is going to be rough if it keeps the corrupted data in a local cache. Cache probably won’t get refreshed before previous contents get parsed, and parsing the data crashes the app.

i mean it's not the SDK that's crashing right, the service changed somehow.

The SDK is crashing. It's likely crashing because the service changed, but it's causing actual crashes on iOS and Android devices which rely on the SDK.

Try opening Lyft on iOS, hard crash on boot. I don't wish to be someone working on that right now!

Opened fine for me, maybe they fixed it in the 9m between our posts?

seems to work fine when it's cached, but if you reload the app it'll start crashing

Ah, this is why my Doordash mobile client started crashing. I was wondering...

Here's to thinking of the dev who did this. Shame

That explains why Doordash and UberEats were both crashing for me earlier today. Was wondering what was going on, seemed like quite a coincidence.
