WAAPI crashes UE4 packaged development builds

Question

The default enabled UE4 Wwise integration's "Auto Connect WAAPI" is causing us crashes running packaged builds (Wwise 2019.2.4 + UE 4.25)

Packaged development builds CTD on opening Wwise. No crash screen, crash/other logs. VS callstack showed WAAPI was the culprit 

Is this a known issue? Something that has been patched? Or to do with our project configuration?
Disabling the WAAPI auto connect fixes the problem.

Callstack below.

Comments

Thanks for the report, this is not a known issue. Is there a way you could provide the content of the message data from the stack frame at:

AK::WwiseAuthoringAPI::WebSocketClient::OnMessage(mg_connection * conn, int flags, char * data, unsigned __int64 data_len, void * user_data) Line 53
It would also be useful to see the content of jsonPayload as passed to AK::WwiseAuthoringAPI::session::got_msg.

Unfortunately I won't be able to test soon because it was critical to get QA up and running again testing packaged builds/wwise profiling.

Was 100% repro though. I can update when I do it again.
