PSA: Remote Raids on iOS 26 reliably crash before the encounter
Remote Raids on iOS 26 reliably crash the moment the Raid Boss is defeated, even if both your iPhone & the game has been restarted right before the Raid. Downloading all assets doesn't help either. This has been happening since Sobble CD on app version 0.417.2
~80% of Raids (both remote & in-person) I've joined since Sobble CD have crashed right after the boss was defeated, although people are reporting rates of 60-100%. I've even lost a 2185 CP Ray from a crash. I'll need further testing on the crash rate, but the earliest I could do it myself is tomorrow
These Raid-specific crashes usually affect iPhones from iPhone 7-iPhone 16 Pro Max (not sure about iPhone 6s/Air/17e/17 Pro/17 Pro Max, although the iPhone 17 has been reported to be relatively crash-free) & are not to be confused with the non-Raid-specific crashes on the 2^(nd) iPhone SE
For now, it's best not to join Remote Raids on iOS 26 to avoid wasting your passes, unless your iPhone almost never crashes (such as from being new, or conversely, running iOS 18)
Previously, the game would uncommonly crash either before or after a Raid starts, but it would never crash if the game had just been restarted, suggesting that the old bug was an iOS-specific memory/cache issue. Now, the game consistently crashes the moment a Raid boss is defeated, suggesting that this is a new bug
