I am working on a VPN Packet Tunnel Network Extension. When I run it from Xcode 11b5 it works perfectly but if I run it from Xcode 10.2.1 the Tunnel Extension crashes. I have to check the Console for the device to see that is has crashed because Xcode does not point a crash has occured. What I see in the console is this (all is from the Network Extension, another target),
NEProvider objects cannot be instantiated from non-extension processes
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSDictionaryM setObject:forKey:]: object cannot be nil (key: A8EDB519-3197-4907-92E2-17DCE552D3A1)'

Extension com.me.MyApp.tunnel-extension died unexpectedly
I have set up an Exception Breakpoint but it does not trigger and I am a bit stuck on what to do. As per I have read it might be related to an issue in the entitlements but I don't know if it runs on Xcode 11b5 why it shouldn't in Xcode 10?
