It looks like the error is thrown when attempting to close the splashscreen app and the app object has already been destroyed. Possibly if the splashscreen took too long to load. I’m looking into it. Thanks.

FYI, I was able to reproduce this error being thrown on windows by closing the app while the splashscreen was still running (without the fix). Testing with the fix, the issue was indeed resolved.

This fix is now published as part of v1.0.0.
