Ive just loaded iOS 27 and was just about to update, decided to wait of reported problem last night so I think I’ll wait for next release which will hopefully have bug fixed. @dan can you help Jack? Also the team will wasn’t to see your project to help them so if you upload it you might get quicker help. ---

I’m sure we’ll be able to get to the bottom of this for you, hang in there. Does it crash doing anything in particular, and have you submitted a crash report to us? ---

I noticed that I’d switch to the browser to preview the project and when I flicked back it had crashed. However there were also multiple times when it just crashed during the build. When I went to re-open the project I’d get a message saying “can’t be opened”, but I bypassed this by repeatedly clicking it or opening it from recents. Hope that gives you something to work with! I’m on OS 15.8, haven’t tested on OS 27. ---

Hi @jackesquire I’m still on macOS 15.8. Care to DM me the project file to see if it’s crashing on my end? ---

Hi @jackesquire Thanks for sending the project file over. Is there anything I need to do in particular to try and get it to crash? I’m clicking through all your pages, moving around the pages, going into the custom components and settings, and the app isn’t crashing on my end (using macOS Sequoia 15.8 with Elements 3.0.16). If there is a sequence of steps I need to do to replicate the crash let me know. ---

Only pattern I noticed was switching between preview and the project, otherwise no it still crashed on it’s own accord. Any ideas?
