 ### Fixes
 
+- MarshalManagedExceptionMode.Default is now used when capturing native exceptions in AOT compiled iOS applications, making native stack traces more readable ([#3912](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/3912))
 - Fixed duplicate SentryMauiEventProcessors ([#3905](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/3905))
