Hi there,I hope I'm posting this question in the right category.I develop a Clock app for macOS which is on the Mac App Store. Just within the last week, a user from Switzerland got in touch with me about some issues he was having. At first, I thought the set of issues he was experiencing had to do with some problems I had recently been dealing with. An update was on the way and assured him that the update would most assuredly fix his problems, but if it didn't, he could email me back. Unfortunately, he emailed me back telling me that the entire app was now broken, it was crashing on launch. I did quite a bit of troubleshooting after that trying to reproduce the problem but wasn't able to. This is also the only incident of this kind that I know of, no one else has contacted me with this problem. He sent me the crash log and I watched this presentation at WWDC18 to learn more about crash logs. A lot of what was said went over my head, I'm no rocket scientist, but I think I got the gist of it and it has helped grow my brain somewhat. Nevertheless, I'm still really confused with the error that I'm dealing with.So here's the crash log:Process: Clock Pro [608] Path: /Applications/Clock Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Clock Pro Identifier: com.mnccoding.Clock Version: 1.3.8 (46) App Item ID: 1107473342 App External ID: 833098719 Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ???

I can also include my code in viewDidLoad( ) if that will be helpful.Help would be appreciated! I'm really confused!
