Crash in ConnectionHandler.connect() Method of nats.swift file resuming the app from the background or in Idle for random time

[MayankMintoak]

Observed behavior

Description: The app crashes in the ConnectionHandler.connect() method of nats.swift when the app is either idle for an extended random period or has been moved to the background. Upon resuming or interacting with the app after this idle period, the app crashes, and the crash report points to the connect() method in nats.swift.

Crash Details:

File: nats.swift
Method: ConnectionHandler.connect()
Line: Occurs during reconnection attempt (as seen in the attached screenshot).

Observed Behavior:

The app crashes and navigates to the ConnectionHandler.connect() method in the nats.swift file.

Expected behavior

The connection handler should gracefully handle reconnections or retries without crashing, even after idle or background sessions.
