    I started a forum thread with additional information and context here:

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/memory-leak-and-crash-in-unitygfxdeviceworker.1542857/

    This issue has been ruining the experience for iPad players of our game for far too long with no solution in sight. Any updates on a timeline for resolution, or assistance on how to work around, would be most appreciated.

    @ACIDARROW lol sure sure. Then the bug is all the other devices that work fine!

    Unity, please find a way to repro the "works fine on my machine" bug on the crashing devices listed above. It's the only way to get to the bottom of this!

    Maybe crashing is by design.

    It doesn't inspire much confidence when your QA team can't be bothered to fix the description of the bug (it still says "Expected result: App crashes") let alone fix the bug itself.

    This is still broken as of Unity 2021.3.34f1.

    Currently the expected and actual result are backwards. The expected result should be for the app *not* to crash. Eg:

    Expected result: App doesn't crash
    Actual result: App crashes
