REX iPhone app - FILTER menu crash

Date: 07/25/2016

REX iPhone app (version 2.3.0)

Description:

I've been playing around with the new REX app on both an iPhone and an iPad.

Discovered a crash that reproduces on both. It's a pretty garden variety crash for the iOS.

It is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots.

I can get this to reproduce 100 percent of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create an a REX account, use the service
2. Launch the app while signed in
3. Select "Explore"
4. Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" search box
5. Search for any term that brings back results (the term "Dan" for example)
6. Select "POSTS"
7. Select the filter option in upper left and the "Cancel" option in upper right simultaneously
8. (filter option dragged back onto another screen) select any option from the filter menu

Result: Easy way to crash the REX app by dragging a FILTER menu onto a previous screen

Expected: Shouldn't be able to drag the FILTER menu onto a screen where it doesn't belong - app shouldn't crash when you select something on this menu screen

Select the "Explore" option....

Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" box...

Run a search for a term that brings back results.

Select the Filter and Cancel options at roughly the same time...

Filter menu is dragged to the previous home feed screen - selecting any option from this FILTER menu will crash the app
