Opening a URL with Brave using the share extension in the system share sheet fails #50529
Description
When you attempt to open a URL in Brave by tapping on the Brave app icon in the system share sheet on iOS 26, the extension fails and the app doesn't launch. This is because the extension itself is crashing.
