React native ios crashes on production with extraHeaders

I need to pass a cookie, for the ingress session affinity, in order to maintain connection in multi pods,
so i set the extraHeaders:

when running the app in debug (in simulator or device) it works as expected, but after releasing ios app in testflight and testing, it crashes,

 Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException
-[__NSArrayM length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x283dcfde0

To Reproduce

Socket.IO server version: 4.4.0

Server

const io = new Socket(server, {
    transports: ['websocket', 'polling'],
    cors: {
      origin: '*',
      methods: ['GET', 'POST'],
      credentials: true,
    },
    adapter: redisAdapter({
      pubClient: redisClient,
      subClient: redisClient.duplicate(),
    }),
  });

Socket.IO client version: 4.7.2

Client

initSocket(userId, cookie) {
    this.socket = io(SOCKET_URL, {
      query: `userId=${userId}`,
      autoConnect: false,
      transport: ['polling', 'websocket'],
      extraHeaders: {
        'Cookie': cookie,
      },
    });
  }
 

Expected behavior
Connect without crash and maintain connection

Platform:

• Device: iphone 11
• OS: ios 17

No source file or test is named. Start at the initSocket entry point and reproduce the provided extraHeaders configuration in an iOS production or TestFlight build, then inspect the NSInvalidArgumentException path. Done means the app connects without crashing on iOS 17 while retaining the requested session-affinity behavior.
