I suspect you are using Julia 1.7.2. I too experience the same crash of Julia when I launch Genie app in Julia 1.7.2. It seems Julia issue. The crash occurs only on Windows but not on Linux. I tested with three Windows PC and one Linux. It issue is gone in 1.8.x beta release but, then Genie has an issue because Genie relies on some Julia internal variables in order to make it Revise-able. But you can work around that by properly organizing your code.
