iOS barcode scanner App crashes with no crash log - ios

Question

I am trying to make a barcode scanner app. As soon as the camera session begins, the app crashes within a few seconds.
I am unable to find the reason behind this. and, how to fix this one.
I have used https://www.appcoda.com/barcode-reader-swift/ to make the barcde scanner.

if let boardingPass = viewModel?.parseBoardingPassString(boardingPassString : metadataObj.stringValue!) {
let unitOfWork = UnitOfWork(context:( UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.newBackgroundContext() )
unitOfWork.boardingPassRepository.saveBoardingPasses(boardingPass: boardingPass)
unitOfWork.saveChanges()
print(unitOfWork.boardingPassRepository.getBoardingPasses(predicate: nil))
self.dismissView()
}
}
}
}
}
The camera doesnt get struck. But, the app gives an lldb everytime within a few seconds.
