backboardd crashes causing iPhone reboot

When launching the "Sun Mobile" app (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-sun-mobile/id485672520?mt=8), the device immediately restarts.


The crash logs show that it was backboardd that crashed causing the restart of the device.


The app runs fine on iPhone 5S (any OS version) or on iPhone 5 prior to iOS 7.1.


This is a serious bug! The whole device is restarted. The screen goes black and the device relaunches to the lock screen.


This is the stacktrace of the thread that crashed.

I've filed a radar for this as it is a serious issue with the operating system.


Steps to Reproduce:

Install iOS 7.1 on iPhone 5 or older.

Download the "Sun Mobile" app (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-sun-mobile/id485672520?mt=8)

Launch the app.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1, iPhone 5 or older

I had the same problem upon updating to 7.1 however my phone kept rebooting every 2 mins regardless if I was using it or not. I had a genius appointment at the Apple Store today and she backed up my phone to icloud then reinstalled the 7.1.


Since I have restored my phone using the icloud back up none of my photos show. It's just a grey screen that says 'loading'.


The only time my phone crashes now is if I open The Sun app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still no joy. There's obviously a clash between the app and the software somewhere.


Never had any problems until 7.1. Wish I never updated!

Hi there,


I have had this problem also, I updated to 7.1 after the update my iPhone kept restarting every few minutes, I contacted apple support via their online chat system, they told me to restore my phone and start it up as new, which I did, my phone hasn't restarted since but when I got on The Sun app it restarts, clearly some issue with the iPhone and The Sun app, I use this app regularly so pretty disappointed that this has started happening, all my other apps work fine, I've since deleted The Sun app and have told apple support about the issue so hopefully they will come up with some fix!


Never had my phone randomly restart before I updated to 7.1 and was pretty unhappy that I had to restore and start my phone from new, meaning I lost all my messages!! I have managed to get my photos, notes and contacts back through my iCloud, but would have preferred if I didn't have to restore it at all!
