📄 Description

Using the async version of Realm on iOS 16 is resulting in incorrect thread crashes. This fix changes the async Realm calls to use the synchronized version by using a different constructor.

Realm() == Realm(queue: DispatchQueue = nil)

But when calling Realm in an async method, the code is picking up the Realm() async constructor, which we don't want.

By calling Realm(queue: nil) we force the non-async path.
