NS runtime crashes in iOS18 Simulators

[cjohn001]

Hello together,
I am currently trying to migrate my app from NS 8.7 to 8.8. It seems like NS has an issue on simulators running iOS18. The relevant code block which kills the runtime is the following, hence opening an SFSafariViewController breaks the app. The crash log is attached below,

seems like it is a V8 related issue.

private openUrlWithParametersCompletion(fullUrl: string, frame: Frame): void {
		SFSafariViewController.prewarmConnectionsToURLs([NSURL.URLWithString(fullUrl)]);
		this.safariViewController = SFSafariViewController.alloc().initWithURL(NSURL.URLWithString(fullUrl));

		// color of top and bottom bar
		if (this.styleOptions) {
			this.safariViewController.preferredBarTintColor = this.styleOptions.preferredBarTintColor.ios;
		}
		// color of the buttons
		if (this.styleOptions) {
			this.safariViewController.preferredControlTintColor = this.styleOptions.preferredControlTintColor.ios;
		}
		// text for dismiss button can be Done, Close, Cancel
		this.safariViewController.dismissButtonStyle = SFSafariViewControllerDismissButtonStyle.Done;
		this.safariViewController.delegate = this;
		if (!this._timeout) {
			this._timeout = setTimeout(() => {
				const windowScene = UIApplication.sharedApplication.connectedScenes.allObjects.firstObject as UIWindowScene;
				if (windowScene) {
					const keyWindow = windowScene.windows.firstObject as UIWindow;
					if (keyWindow.keyWindow) {
						let rootVC = keyWindow.rootViewController;
						rootVC.presentViewControllerAnimatedCompletion(this.safariViewController, true, null);
					} else {
						console.error('no key window');
					}
				}
				this._timeout = null;
			}, 150);
		}
	}
