I'm trying to run an app in xcode on the simulator and it builds successfully and installs the app succesfully but when it tries to boot up the app I keep getting this error:

Anybody have any idea what is causing this and how I can fix it?!?!? Please help! I've been working on this for days. I've unistalled and reinstalled kivy-ios and dependencies multiple times, asked chatGPT and nothing is working.
