    I found I could repro this problem on 5.6.0f3 and 5.6.1f1 with iPhone 5S running iOS 10.3.1 but couldn't repro with a 5S running 9.3.2. Turning off anti-aliasing on the RenderTexture we were using on the problematic device as zilppuri suggested is a possible workaround while still using Metal.

    Updated to Unity v5.6.1f1. No post effects, Metal still crashing our iOS devices (iOS 10.3.1, iPhone 5S, iPad Air).

    Tested with 5.6.0p4. The bug ist still present. Update: I was able to construct a simple post-effect that does not stop the rendering, so things seem to be a little more complicated than expected. With others, the screen does not get black but keeps the framebuffer in combination with some flickering. I consider this a rather severe bug for iOS. The only solution is to disable post effects for iPad air 2, iPad mini 2 & 3 and tvOS in general, which is a really really ugly and unpleasant fix.

    Happens on an iPad Mini 3 for us. Please fix this.

    For us this happens on iPad Air 2 and Apple TV Gen 4 which both have some variant of A8 chip

    The game doesn't hang if I switch off Anti-aliasign. Seems this is a way to circumvent the issue for now - with a loss in graphical quality.

    Switching to OpenGLES3 fixed this problem for Ipad but Iphone6 running iOs 10.3 has the same problem.
