Description
Expected behavior
The app shouldn't crash.
Actual behavior
There are Sentry events (2 in 23.4, 1 in 23.5 so far) for a crash when opening the privacy screen, but I couldn't reproduce it.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
I couldn't reproduce this when navigating to Me > App Settings > Privacy Settings.
Tested on iPhone 11, iOS 17.1, Jetpack iOS 23.5
Additional info
Based on the error message UIViewController is missing its initial trait collection populated during initialization, I thought it might be similar to https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/pull/17228 (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69092599/xcode-13-beta-5-error-uiviewcontroller-is-missing-its-initial-trait-collection), but there's no Obj-C code in the stack trace so this might be different.

Research direction
Start at the Me > App Settings > Privacy Settings navigation and review the Sentry events and stack traces for the UIViewController trait-collection error. Compare the behavior with WordPress-iOS#17228 and its linked Stack Overflow discussion; done means identifying and fixing the crash, with a regression test if the relevant entry point becomes clear.
