The following code crashes on iPad mini 2 / 3 only when executed from the AppStore distributed executable.
let jwtVerifier = JWTVerifier.es512(publicKey: publicKey.data(using: .utf8)!)
do {
let parsedJwt = try JWT<LicenseJWTClaims>(jwtString: jwt, verifier: jwtVerifier) // <== crashes here
return License(jwt: parsedJwt, raw_jwt_string: jwt)
} catch {
}
// LicenseJWTClaims for reference
internal struct LicenseJWTClaims: Claims {
let exp: Date?
let nbf: Date?
let iat: Date?
let licenseKey: String?
}
The code works just fine on every device when installed via XCode. The App also works on 'normal' (not mini) iPads when installed from the App Store.
How would you go on analysing this issue? Do you maybe even have a fix available?

CryptorEEC is open source. The last call to the stack that isn't a system framework is ECPublicKey.swift:144.
As you can see from that link, it's creating a dictionary with this value kSecAttrKeyTypeECSECPrimeRandom. According to the next call in the stack, this is causing the crash.
I searched for kSecAttrKeyTypeECSECPrimeRandom on Google and I found this question on SO.
This answer suggests that a key larger than 256 is too big for ECSEC.
This is an old question with old answers, which leads me to believe it's crashing on older devices with older iOS versions because support for larger keys was introduced in iOS 13 or later, or in devices with Secure Enclave (I'm not sure).
Since I don't know how you're using this encrypted token, I can't make a suggestion on how to fix this, but I hope it's at least enough information for you to make a decision.
