Hard to tell what you're actually looking at without seeing a real 
backtrace (e.g., I have no idea what "Cpp2uno_call()" is supposed to mean).

As there is "getCaughtException()" in your picture: 
cppu::getCaughtException (cppuhelper/exc_hlp.hxx) internally uses the 
bridge between C++ and binary UNO to translate the C++ exception being 
caught by the current catch block into a css::uno::Any.  You need that 
bridge in all its glory, beautiful assembler hackery and all, for that 
functionality to work.

Just to be clear:  The bridge between C++ and binary UNO is used in more 
scenarios than just inter-process communication.  Other examples are 
bridging to code in other languages like Java, the thread-affine bridge 
used by some (Java) database code, or cppu::getCaughtException mentioned 
above.  While the former examples may not be relevant on iOS, the latter 
one certainly is.
