react-native-firebase [🐛] iOS: App crashes as soon as notification is received in foreground or clicked in background

Issue

When notification is received and app is in foreground the app crashes. The app also crashes when in background state and clicked on notification in iOS. Another problem is the listener for background/foreground message receiver are also not invoking for iOS as mentioned in rnfirebase documentation.

The stack trace when app is in foreground and app crashes:

Very unexpected. So those lines are where we call the original notification handler delegate - if you receive a message and there was a messaging delegate configured before firebase

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/970756d733e1c4642b53d91c5b1b8f58a8f5dbc0/packages/messaging/ios/RNFBMessaging/RNFBMessaging%2BUNUserNotificationCenter.m#L164-L166

the original delegate is saved here, during RNFBMessaging setup:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/970756d733e1c4642b53d91c5b1b8f58a8f5dbc0/packages/messaging/ios/RNFBMessaging/RNFBMessaging%2BUNUserNotificationCenter.m#L49

The best thing I can think of is that WebEngage (which can apparently do mobile push notification things...) is installing a delegate, and somewhere between iOS notification center, react-native-firebase code and WebEngage code there is an issue with the typing of the message received or the message receiver. [1]

[1] - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721853?answerId=739859022#739859022

No one else has posted a crash like this before and I believe our code is just a) saving the original delegate, b) sending the original message to the original delegate so I think react-native-firebase is doing things correctly here but the problem is in the "forwarding code" which we saved and are calling.

What happens if you take out WebEngage temporarily as a test?
