Stack trace from crash

I was testing out calling some Javascript with my iOS app and noticed that I could crash the app by causing an exception. The JS that I'm calling is attached below as well as the objective c code that I'm using to call it. 

I'm calling a named autoexecuting function which just has a generic try catch inside. The second time the function executes and the exception is caused the app crashes. 

I tested this same function using the new WKWebView and it doesn't crash the app but it seems to crash my the webview, I can't execute anything on it the second time the function runs.

I've run this code on iOS 7 and it doesn't cause a crash.

	


function ActivateDemo() {

		this.testFunction = function()
		{
			if (document.body.style.backgroundColor == "red") 
			{
				document.body.style.backgroundColor="blue";
			}
			else
			{
				document.body.style.backgroundColor="red";
			}
			 
			(function namedFunc() {
			try{
				eval("console.log('hey from function'aa')")
			}
			catch(e)
			{
				console.log('exception ' + e)
			}
			})();
		}
	}
	var AD = window.AD = new ActivateDemo();
