esp32 bootloop with platform=espressif32

[MichaelDvP]

With the new espressif 6.4.0 / framework-arduinoespressif32 3.20011 the esp32 bootloops with this message

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00

I've tested with the plain code from here, set all features.ini to zero and also removed the LightStateSevice and LightMqttSettingsService, but still bootloop. -D CORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 does not give any other message.
I think it's something at initialisation so i moved the esp8266React to the setup funcion and it works.

This bootloops:

main.cpp:
#include <ESP8266React.h>
AsyncWebServer server(80);
ESP8266React esp8266React(&server);
ESP8266React * espReact;
void setup() {
  espReact->begin();
  server.begin();
}
void loop() {
  esp8266React.loop();
}

This works:

main.cpp:
#include <ESP8266React.h>
AsyncWebServer server(80);
ESP8266React * espReact;
void setup() {
  espReact = new ESP8266React(&server);
  espReact->begin();
  server.begin();
}
void loop() {
  espReact->loop();
}

Any idea what causes the bootloop?

I've found the cause:
In WifiSettingsService move all WIFI.xxx to the begin() function and it works.
Should i make a PR?

@MichaelDvP I would love to see an example of this - as a PR to this repo doesn't seem very realistic.

Another workaround could be to downgrade the Espressif Arduino library.

I tried with

platform=espressif32@6.3.0

in platform.ini and everything worked again.

Changing the Espressif library version fixed the issue, Thanks.
