Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in an iOS production build of version 7.40.0 and use the provided stack trace to locate the bundled code that references MessageEvent. Trace which dependency or browser-facing path reaches that reference, then verify the fix by confirming the production build no longer raises the exception.
