Notarised app crashing, build app not crashing

I have an app that only crashes once it's been notarised. I read a few posts that essentially said before trying to identify issues by reviewing the crash report I should ensure signing and notarisation has happened correctly.

I've worked through the document "Resolving common notarization issues"

    1. spctl -vvv --assess --type exec: gives no errors and correctly returns my developer id.
    1. codesign -dvv: returns a timestamp
    1. My app uses a hardened runtime.
    1. My app shows up in Xcode as a macOS Archive (e.g not a Generic Xcode Archive)

Here is the crash report.

Please post a full crash report, per the advice in Posting a Crash Report.

For context, my experience is that most “crashes once it's been notarised” problem have nothing to do with notarisation. However, it’s hard to be sure without knowing more about the issue.
