[BUG] Basic MediaElement crashes when targetting iOS 17.4 yet works fine on 17.2

Is there an existing issue for this?

Did you read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file?

Current Behavior

Simply having a MediaElement on a ContentPage crashes on startup when the project is targetting iOS 17.4 yet it works just fine when targetting 17.2.

Here is the interesting part of the stack trace:

do you use xcode 15.3 in order to support newer versions of the iOS sdk? 15.3 isn't supported yet, as far as I know, resulting in lots of crashes - this could be entirely unrelated to the toolkit.

Yes thanks @MitchBomcanhao also see dotnet/maui#21057

Can you please confirm @KeithBoynton ?

[KeithBoynton]

Yes thanks guys, I am indeed using 15.3... I've subscribed to 21057 so I can see when that is resolved and hopefully this IS unrelated to the toolkit.. fingers crossed
