iPadOS 16.1 Watchtower crash [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

I too experience this iPadOS crash and have been patiently waiting for a fix. The crash is especially annoying because for some reason it makes it difficult to relaunch 1Password. Fortunately I run 1Password on multiple platforms so I can easily avoid the issue.

I've been a 1Password customer for almost 10 years now, and the inability to release a timely fix for a flagship feature crashing is, to my recollection, almost unprecedented. There must be something out of the ordinary going on here. So it sure would be nice if Support provided more information about the delay than "Development is working on it".
