Built app with Xcode 15.2 crashes after AppSyncClient subscribe on iOS 16.3.1 version or lower about aws-mobile-appsync-sdk-ios

Hi @CJblaze2022, thanks for opening this issue.

From what I found online, this crash happens when attempting to use NWPathMonitor on builds created using Xcode 15 and targeting iOS versions lower than 12, and it only seems to affect CocoaPods.

As a quick fix, you can update both AppSyncRealTimeClient and AWSAppSync targets in your Pods project to use iOS 12.0 as the Minimum Deployment version:

Note that this will be overwritten every time you do a pod install or pod update, so if you wish to avoid that you can instead add a post-install script to your Podfile:

  post_install do |installer|   
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name  == "AWSAppSync" || target.name  == "AppSyncRealTimeClient"
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'
        end
      end
    end
  end

---

We're already working on bumping the minimum deployments for these pods to iOS 12:

• #586
• aws-amplify/aws-appsync-realtime-client-ios#156

Once these are merged and released, you won't need to manually update anything.
We'll post an update here once that's done.

hi @ruisebas so sorry for the late response, we were testing you solution (it is not easy to find iOS 15 and 16 devices 😅), we changed our minimum deployment from 11.4 to 12.0 and it solved the issue. Many thanks for your support! 🙌🏼

AppSync SDK 3.7.0 and AppSyncRealTimeClient 3.2.0 have been released bumping the minimum deployment target to iOS 12. Please upgrade your dependencies to the latest versions.
Thanks!
