I am new in archiving app for testing/distribution. My MacOS cocoa app crash only when built as an archive.

Here's the TextCompletionNode function:
// we assume firstString and secondString are at least longer than beyond
private static func hasCommonPrefix(_ firstString:String, with secondString:String, beyond beyondIndex:String.Index) -> String? {
assert((firstString.endIndex >= beyondIndex) && (secondString.endIndex >= beyondIndex))
var commonPrefix = String(firstString[..<beyondIndex])
guard secondString.hasPrefix(commonPrefix) else {
return nil
}
var firstIndex = beyondIndex
let firstEndIndex = firstString.endIndex
var previousCommonPrefix: String
repeat {
previousCommonPrefix = commonPrefix
if firstIndex >= firstEndIndex {
break
}
//NSLog("firstString = \"\(firstString)\", firstIndex = \(firstIndex)")
firstIndex = firstString.index(after: firstIndex) // <-- Crashing?
commonPrefix = String(firstString[..<firstIndex])
} while secondString.hasPrefix(commonPrefix)
return previousCommonPrefix
}
Everything is working well when testing the same functionality when running the app from Xcode. I've read that debugging information is removed from archived app so you can't really debug them. I've tried to add a NSLog statement to write some debugging information in the Console app, and nothing is showing. I also tried starting the app from command-line (MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp), nothing is showing in the terminal either.
I would like to know more about the conditions before the crash. What should I do?
EDIT: I've tried to flush STDERR and even redirect STDERR into a file based on this answer from this other post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5938021/301189 and nothing was working. Simply replacing NSLog(_:_:) with printf(_:) helped me to get some output in the terminal. I still don't know why I can't get anything from STDERR in the archived app though.
Also, the above crash does not happen when putting output some output in the terminal. Such a weird bug...
