[Bug] ReadiumNavigation Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value paginationView in EPUBNavigatorViewModel

[TechWilk]

Describe the bug

Upon working to upgrade to 3.0.0-alpha.2 for testing or integration I have started to receive the following error when opening a publication.

Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value

How to reproduce?

I feel like I haven't initialised something correctly, but as far as I'm aware I have correctly followed the steps from the migration guide.

Readium version

3.0.0-alpha.2

OS version

iOS 16.7.10 and iOS

Testing device

iPhone X (physical device) and iPhone 15 (simulator)

Environment

macOS: 14.3.1
platform: arm64
carthage: 0.40.0
Xcode 15.4
Build version 15F31d

Additional context

In order to continue my testing, if I check the variable first I can get the ebook to load, but this doesn't feel like this is fixing the root cause.

case .loadedResources:
  await withTaskGroup(of: Void.self) { tasks in
    if (paginationView != nil) {
      for (_, view) in paginationView.loadedViews {
          tasks.addTask {
              await (view as? EPUBSpreadView)?.evaluateScript(script)
          }
      }
    }
  }

Thanks for reporting this issue, I'll try to tackle it next week.

By the way, to solve the problem you just need to move navigator.submitPreferences to viewDidAppear, this worked for me

Could you give more details steps to reproduce the error from the test app? I can't trigger it.

[mickael-menu]

Okay I could reproduce, I think it happens only with fixed layout publications, correct?

It doesn't trigger on iOS 18 either.

[mickael-menu]

Could you try again from develop and confirm that it fixes the problem for you? Thanks!

[akhsary]

Yes, thanks, fixed, can you tell me when to expect the release with all the latest fixes?

[mickael-menu]

I'm doing one right now, 3.0.0-alpha.3.
