[Office Hours] App crashing with the new feature

Related Discussion

i am trying to implement one of our key features:

Include a function that will export the visuals in PDF format for a specified range of time.

i've written the code simply to export the existing view in PDF format; however, when you run the app and click on the new pdf button, the app crashes.

Reproduction

1. clone the stanford 360 repo
2. pull changes from the kkellyb/create-visualizations-pdf-export branch
3. run the app
4. go to the dashboard view
5. swipe right to the "this week" or "this month" tab
6. click on the pdf button button
7. app crashes

@nriedman @AdritRao @felixschlegel would be amazing if you can take a look at this.

@kkellybonilla can you share more information about the crash? What error message do you get?
I see that the PR is merged; could you already resolve the issue?

hi @PSchmiedmayer the pr is simply drafted, not merged yet.

here's what's happening:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9da2dd13-60ed-4d7f-b257-4962c438f3fe

No Observable Object of type ActivityManager found... except it's defined in our app delegate and it's environment accessible, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Oh, sorry, looked at the wrong PR, my bad.

Added a comment here that will help you to resolve the issue: https://github.com/CS342/2025-Stanford-360/pull/44/files#r1978327030. In summary: It is an issue that the views that you aim to render require elements in the environment which are not injected in there.

thanks! i'll try doing as you suggested and seeing if it resolves the error, i'll update this discussion thread if so.

[PSchmiedmayer]

Sounds great; @nriedman @AdritRao @felixschlegel tagging you here for follow-up questions.

[kkellybonilla]
