iOS App crashes in Release Mode but not in debug (using MongoDB and Stitch SDK)

Question

I’m using MongoDB and Stitch SDK (StitchSDK ver. 6.4.0) . My app for iPhone runs in debug mode but when I build it as release and install it via TestFlight, it crashes. I tried changing the optimisation level in the build settings , but no luck.

The part of the Device Log which refers to the Crashed Thread is the following:

I hope someone can help me out!

I made a workaround to send everything as text (json stringify) to the function and then in the function convert it back to json. It is not perfect but it works. Here is some code if somebody wants to do the same, I also upgraded to realm, but the principle stays the same :

        // the part in the IOS app 
        
        let app = App(id: "yourapp");
        
        app.login(credentials: Credentials.anonymous) {
            (result) in
            DispatchQueue.main.async{
                switch result{
                case .failure(let error):
                    print("login failed: \(error)")
                case .success(let user):
                    print("Login as \(user) succeeded !")

                    var arrayPlog = [Logj]();
                    //let encoder = BSONEncoder()  // does not work
                    
                    // logs
                    let jsonObjectLog: [String : Any] = [
                        "logs": self.parseLogs(&arrayPlog)
                    ]
                    let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: jsonObjectLog, options: [])
                    let jsonString = String(data: jsonData!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
                    
                    // user
                    let jsonObjectUser: [String : Any] = [
                        "user": self.getUserInfo()
                    ]
                    let jsonDataUser = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: jsonObjectUser, options: [])
                    let jsonStringUser = String(data: jsonDataUser!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
  
                    // call realm function
                    user.functions.AddData([AnyBSON(jsonString!),AnyBSON(jsonStringUser!)]){ Adddata, error in
                        guard error == nil else {
                            print("error")
                            return
                        }
                        print ("function called")
                    }
                    
                    
                }
            }
        }
        
        
     // as a sample the getUserInfo function
