Wireguard iOS crashes after upgrading to XCode 14

Hi Houman,

I believe that the crash coming from withMemoryRebound is actually assertion (assert()). Very often assertions are stripped out from release builds, so I guess it could be the reason why it just worked in release builds.

Jason has already replied in regards of releasing an update.

Best regards,
Andrej
