### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Grok Bot

### Describe the Bug

## Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

- Cursor Mobile
- Grok Bot (including remote computer control)

## Describe the Bug

Grok Bot crashes immediately whenever I start typing text on my iPhone 16.

The issue occurs in both Korean and English keyboard input and is reproducible 100% of the time.

This is not limited to the Grok Bot chat interface. The app also crashes when Grok Bot has control of a remote computer and I attempt to type into an input field on that computer.

The keyboard opens successfully, but the app terminates as soon as I begin typing.

The issue persists after restarting the app, rebooting the iPhone, updating the app, and reinstalling it.

## Steps to Reproduce

**Scenario 1: Chat input**

1. Open Grok Bot 1.24.1 on an iPhone 16.
2. Navigate to a chat interface.
3. Tap the message input field to open the keyboard.
4. Start typing any text in Korean or English.
5. The app immediately crashes.

**Scenario 2: Remote computer control**

1. Open Grok Bot on the iPhone.
2. Start a session in which Grok Bot has control of a remote computer.
3. Select a text input field on the remote computer.
4. Attempt to type using the iPhone keyboard.
5. The app immediately crashes.

**Reproduction rate:** 100% (every attempt).

## Expected Behavior

The app should allow users to type text normally in both Korean and English without crashing.

Text input should also work correctly when interacting with input fields on a remote computer controlled through Grok Bot.

## Screenshots / Screen Recordings

N/A — No recording attached.

## Operating System

- **Platform:** iOS
- **Device:** iPhone 16
- **iOS Version:** N/A (not provided)

## Version Information

- **Product:** Grok Bot
- **App Version:** 1.24.1
- **Cursor IDE Version:** N/A
- **Cursor CLI Version:** N/A

## For AI issues: Which model did you use?

N/A — The issue occurs during text input, before submitting a request to an AI model.

## For AI issues: Add Request ID with privacy disabled

N/A — The app crashes during text input before a request can be submitted.

## Additional Information

**Troubleshooting steps already attempted:**

- Force-closed and restarted the app.
- Rebooted the iPhone.
- Updated the app.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

None of these steps resolved the issue.

**Additional observations:**

- The crash occurs with both Korean and English keyboard input.
- The issue is consistently reproducible.
- The issue affects multiple text input contexts, including chat and remote computer control.
- The app crashes when typing begins, rather than when a message is submitted.

## Does this stop you from using Cursor?

**Yes — Cursor Mobile / Grok Bot is unusable for text input.**

The issue prevents normal interaction with chat interfaces and remote computer input fields, making the affected features unusable.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Grok Bot 1.24.1 on an iPhone 16.
2. Navigate to a chat interface.
3. Tap the message input field to open the keyboard.
4. Start typing any text in Korean or English.
5. The app immediately crashes.

### Operating System

iOS

### Version Information

Grok Bot: Version 1.24.1  
IOS: 18.7.8

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @yoojin! Thanks for the thorough report, including the remote-computer case. You’ve already ruled out everything on your end, so there’s nothing more to reinstall or reset. This isn’t caused by anything on your phone or your keyboard. We’ve let the team know and this is an issue we’re tracking.

I’m merging this into an existing thread following the same issue so updates stay in one place: [Grok Bot 1.24.1 crashes when opening keyboard](https://forum.cursor.com/t/grok-bot-1-24-1-crashes-when-opening-keyboard-iphone-15-pro-max-ios-18-6-2/177462).

I’ll post any updates on that thread.

Same issue, it isn’t useable on mobile. Crashes every time I try to type in the chat. Just blacks out every single time.
