I have a macOS app made with the Electron framework. Ever since I updated to macOS Sonoma, I've been facing a random crash whenever I click on the app menu/apple menu. This is not reproducible but happens quite often. On checking the crash report, I can notice that nil is being provided as an input to __NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects method, but this crash does not happen in macOS Ventura or older versions. Is this due to any new validation added to the above method in macOS Sonoma ?
