QTH Crashes When Editing New BT LE GPS Connection
Issue #107
resolved
After adding a new Bluetooth LE GPS connection from the connection manager window, the device is added. However, when attempting to edit the connection, QTH immediately crashes upon pressing the three dots from the connection window.

Yes - happens every time I try and edit the connection. I can send a new crash log if needed in case the one I sent was wrong.

Yeah, let’s try another crash log and see if that exposes the true problem more. The first crash log says it’s crashing when the map is rendering a dead reckoning line on the map. I can’t figure out how that would be related to pressing the button.

The crash should be fixed in v0.5.8. Big Sur introduced a new permission for accessing Bluetooth devices.
That said, if the connection doesn’t work, you may need to go into System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Bluetooth and add QTH.app as an app that is allowed to use Bluetooth. There doesn’t seem to be an API available to request permission to this, like there are for other system services. If it becomes a problem for people, I might have to devise a dialog box that gives people the instructions on how to do it.

Does this happen every time?
Looking through the crash log, I can’t see any threads related to clicking on the button and it appears that a background rendering thread was the one that crashed. So, I’m wondering if the crash on that other thread just happened to coincide with clicking the button.
