       @js @monkeydom @uliwitness @_ka_ You cannot generally throw exceptions safely in ARC code unless all executables involved are compiled with the arc-exceptions flag, which defaults to off and is usually disabled in Apple’s frameworks. See the Exceptions section of https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html
