Why does multithreading introduce non-deterministic bugs in Objective-C apps?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Thread scheduling variability causes race conditions and timing-dependent behavior.
Deep explanation
CPU scheduler determines thread execution order unpredictably. Without synchronization, shared state modifications overlap leading to corrupted memory or inconsistent state. These bugs are hard to reproduce due to timing sensitivity.
