Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: Hekuro on August 30, 2013, 07:06:07 PM I wonder what would happen if some forum member with lots of posts would put that string in his signature ;D
I think I won't recommend it xD Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: jackjack on August 30, 2013, 07:11:06 PM Thanks for the info OP!

So no virus for now.Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: Singlebyte on August 30, 2013, 11:48:48 PM Confirmed...Crashes Google chrome also on IPad.
the issue is with the WebKit browser engine, but it actually affects any browser or application that uses Apple's CoreText API mysteryminer....thanks! Too funny!! Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: Hekuro on August 31, 2013, 12:08:16 AM It's especially funny to send a text message with this content to your friends iphone xP
(No, don't do it, they can't open their Messages app then anymore). ;) Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: Singlebyte on August 31, 2013, 02:45:57 AM It's especially funny to send a text message with this content to your friends iphone xP (No, don't do it, they can't open their Messages app then anymore). ;) Anybody know how to FIX the iPhone messenger now? LOL Title: Re: This string crashes apple devices Post by: Foxpup on August 31, 2013, 04:37:58 AM At first I thought this was going to be the file:/// bug, but this is different one. Dammit Apple, why can't you write a working text renderer? It's not that hard! Well, actually it is kinda hard given the bajillions of character encoding systems out there, but it's not hard to write one that doesn't crash on certain text strings! What the fuck?
