[bug] Tauri app fails to launch in release mode on Mac OS

[Markos-Th09]

Describe the bug

Some kind of failed memory allocation causes the app to not launch when built in release mode. When tauri tries to free that memory it fails

Reproduction

1. Create a new tauri app
2. Run tauri build
3. Launch the app
4. The app should immediately quit

Expected behavior

The app should launch as it does in development mode

Additional context

This problem randomly happened one day without changing anything in the app.

Can you provide a minimal repo that re-creates this bug? Because on it's on the steps are fine, I run these steps almost daily and they work on my macos machine.

I believe this was fixed here: tauri-apps/wry#567
A patch will be published soon. I can confirm if you send us a minimal repo to reproduce this (from my tests it happens when the response is empty e.g. an empty file).
