If you find an issue, please let us know by opening a new Bug Report! Please specify with system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: e.g. instead of using a fresh new app, using a real project with more complex code. Or, try using native libraries that use the New Architecture!
