Possible bug: SystemTrayIconComponent cannot be removed at runtime

MacOSX and iOS
#1

It seems the SystemTrayIconComponent is not freeing some resources correctly and the icon will still be shown in the menu area, even after the SystemTrayIconComponent has been freed.

To reproduce, use the JUCE Demo and instead of closing the app just free the tray icon:

void MainAppWindow::closeButtonPressed()
{
    //JUCEApplication::getInstance()->systemRequestedQuit();
    taskbarIcon = nullptr;
}

The icon will still be shown, clicking on it will crash the app.

#2

I tried your change, but when I clicked the button, the icon disappears immediately, nothing crashes, and everything works as expected (?)

#3

Sorry, please try the following with the Demo app from the current tip:

void MainAppWindow::closeButtonPressed()
{
    if(taskbarIcon)
        taskbarIcon = nullptr;
    else
        taskbarIcon = new DemoTaskbarComponent();

    //JUCEApplication::getInstance()->systemRequestedQuit();
}

Then click the app close button a few times.

For me it crashes in frameChanged of juce_mac_SystemTrayIcon.cpp

The Xcode console output shows:
