Safari Crash when opening Safari Settings

System details:
    * MBP w/ an intel i7 chip 
    * OS version: Ventura 13.1 beta (22c5033e)
    * Kernel version: 22.2.0
    * System firmware version: 1916.40.8.0.0

After building SafariForWebkitDevelopment by doing:

./Tools/Scripts/set-webkit-configuration --release --asan
./Tools/Scripts/build-webkit -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=address

I then run Safari with:
./Tools/Scripts/run-safari --release

I get the attached crash log (crash.log.ips) when opening the settings menu, the terminal output is copy/pasted below:

I can reproduce the issue, and it's not immediately clear what's causing it.  As a possible workaround until this is fixed, I think opening the settings without your built WebKit, changing the settings, closing Safari, then opening Safari with your built WebKit should see the changed settings.

[@TimGMichaud]

I see, I'll give that a shot later today; I noticed there's a similar bug here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719704, though that's me assuming the root cause is something in NSCalendarDate initWithCoder!

[Alex Christensen]

That forum link is quite unrelated.

I have good news and bad news: we found a fix, but it has nothing to do with open source WebKit so there's no PR I can show you to fix it.

[@TimGMichaud]

No worries, long as it's eventually fixed! Should I rebuild and expect it to work now?

[Alex Christensen]

No, it still won't work if you do that.

[@TimGMichaud]

ACK - thanks :)

This should work with macOS 13.3 beta now. Please let us know how it goes!

[@TimGMichaud]

This is working; thanks so much :D!
