app crash issue only on iPad with package 'pedometer'

Device / Emulator and OS

• Device: iPad Air (5th generation)
• OS: iOS 17.6.1

My app works fine with my device but iOS review keeps rejecting my app since it crash when app is on launch.

crash report that they sent me is below:

ChatGPT advised me regarding above crash log:

Here are some key points to consider based on the crash log:

CoreMotion Involvement: The stack trace shows that the crash involves CoreMotion, specifically in methods like CLConnection::sendMessageSync and StepDetector.init(). It suggests that the crash is related to the use of the pedometer or motion-related features within your app.

Synchronous XPC Communication: The crash occurs during synchronous XPC communication, as indicated by calls to xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply_sync. XPC is often used for communication between different processes or system services, such as Location Services.

Plugin Registration: The crash occurs during the registration of the SwiftPedometerPlugin, which could suggest that there is an issue with how the plugin interacts with CoreMotion or other system services during app launch.

So I guess this issue caused by package pedometer.

But I have used package pedometer ^4.6.1 for a long time, but all of sudden this issue happens even only on iPad.

Moreover when I run iPad Air 5th generation as simulator, it works fine.

So I assume that OS version which is iOS 17.6.1 causes error.

But Xcode version 15.4 doesn't support 17.6.1 only support until 17.5.

I tested with 17.5. OS.
