[@triniwiz/nativescript-image-cache-it][IOS] bug in iOS, ImageCacheIt tag crash release version

In the context of the issue, the functionality in the HTML file associated with ImageCacheIt is not functioning as expected, whereas the Image tag is operating correctly.

Currently, I am encountering challenges with the implementation of ImageCacheIt on iOS. Despite having attached a StackBlitz project for reference, there are persisting issues:

The tab functionality within the HTML file associated with ImageCacheIt is non-functional, whereas the standard tag operates correctly.

Upon attempting to launch the release version of the iOS application ns build ios --bundle --env.uglify --env.aot --release --forDevice , the application crashes

I'm also attaching Sample project to reproduce error : src.zip

possible error could be :

any workaround to fix this error ASAP

Start with the attached sample and src/app/item/items.component.html, then reproduce the iOS release build using the reported NativeScript command. Inspect the ImageCacheIt iOS code, including NSURLExt.swift, and determine whether the tab failure and release crash share a cause. Done means the ImageCacheIt tab works and the release iOS application launches without crashing.
