I've started using swift charts and since then get random crashes with the error: Thread 467: hit program assert

The console outputs the following at the time of the crash:

-[MTLDebugRenderCommandEncoder setVertexBufferOffset:atIndex:]:1758: failed assertion Set Vertex Buffer Offset Validation
index(0) must have an existing buffer.`

I'm not using Metal directly buit it seems like this is related to Swift Charts. I cannot work out the source of the issue from the stack trace and the debugger shows teh crash in libsystem_kernel.dylib so does not tie back to my code.

I'm looking for ideas about where to start to try and find the source of the issue

As a workaround you can try disabling Metal API Validation when editing the project's scheme under Options and see if that unblocks you. It may also be helpful if you could file a Feedback Assistant report for Swift Charts throwing this error with a reproducible sample or crash log when detached from the debugger. If you can do this please provide the feedback assistant ID here.
