I don't understand this change. It seems like you should add your nullptr check, but KEEP the XPC_TYPE_CONNECTION check. Why are you removing the XPC type check?

Is the issue that sometimes we go to relay client certificate data to the network process, but the network process has been terminated?

I will add a description as well.

I actually make a mistake last time when I added this check. What I was trying to do is to do the nullptr check. Then I discovered xpc_get_type(). Therefore I used it to do a more general check. However, xpc_get_type() doesn't do the nullptr check for its parameters... Therefore, we now crash here. Since nullptr check is what I actually need, I don't have to check the type of the object.

I haven't observed any issues here. I added this just in case there are some future issues. I can remove this check here.
