Decoding the crash location with xcrun atos -i always points to a line dereferencing an IBOutlet that is nil.

Is there an explanation for while would the outlet not be connected?

The preferences pane is shown here:

https://github.com/HearthSim/HSTracker/blob/master/HSTracker/AppDelegate.swift#L595

The above crash happens on the following line:

https://github.com/HearthSim/HSTracker/blob/master/HSTracker/UIs/Preferences/TrackersPreferences.swift#L44

Any help is appreciated.

Is there an explanation for while would the outlet not be connected?

In some cases, IBOutlet appears connected, but connection is corrupted.

In case, you should:

remove the connection
recreate it
do a Clean Build Folder

Note: it is good to reference the whole project, in case someone needs to look at it, but it is much better to also insert the code where the error occurs in the post.
