have you tried turning it on and off again: libxpc

There was a weird hang we were seeing in Float. It would occur anytime a text field became the first responder. The issue could be reproduced with our development build as well as the live app store build. The hang had the following frames at the top of the callstack for the main thread:

0   libsystem_kernel.dylib          mach_msg_trap (in libsystem_kernel.dylib) + 20
1   libsystem_kernel.dylib          mach_msg (in libsystem_kernel.dylib) + 50
2   libxpc.dylib                    _xpc_connection_check_in (in libxpc.dylib) + 152
3   libxpc.dylib                    _xpc_connection_init (in libxpc.dylib) + 1032
4   libxpc.dylib                    _xpc_connection_wakeup2 (in libxpc.dylib) + 774
5   libxpc.dylib                    _xpc_connection_wakeup (in libxpc.dylib) + 62
6   libxpc.dylib                    _xpc_connection_send_registration (in libxpc.dylib) + 24

Google didn't return useful results for some the various _xpc* function names. Although the libxpc keyword seemed to be associated with "hang." I went and grabbed another 4S. Fortunately, the issue did not repro. From what I could tell libxpc is related to remote debugging. However, it never shutdown properly and was left running to break as it pleased. After a quick reboot of the device we were back to normal.

Seeing as Google was pretty sparse on this issue I hope this will save others some time.
