Qt Application Crashes After QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames

I have a Qt (v 6.6.2) application where I'm trying to open a file dialog and let the user select one or more files. However, my application crashes after the file dialog is closed, regardless of whether files were selected or not. Here's a minimal version of my code:

#include <QFileDialog>
#include <QStringList>
#include <iostream>
#include <QApplication>

void LoadFile() {
    QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(
                        nullptr,
                        "Select one or more files to open",
                        "/home",
                        "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)");

    if (!files.isEmpty()) {
        for (const auto& file : files) {
            std::cout << "Selected file: " << file.toStdString() << std::endl;
        }
    } else {
        std::cout << "No files were selected." << std::endl;
    }
    std::cout << "CRASH TEST" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    LoadFile();

    return app.exec();
}

The application crashes after the file dialog is closed. And I never get a console output

I've tried catching exceptions, but none are thrown. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Well this is what helped me for developping QT-APP in VSCODE-Environment. The Path to QT is hardcoded, but maybe someone has a more dynamic solution?
