Swift SFSymbol unexpectedly found nil for UIImage

I have a bug that I am not understanding.

All devices I have tested are not having this issue. However, on ipad mini 4 iOS 13.4 I am receiving the error: Swift runtime failure: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

let image = UIImage(systemName: "chevron.forward")?

I am programmatically assigning the value on viewDidLoad(). All devices I have tested do not have this issue but mini 4.

I thought SF symbols work for iOS 13+ but I can seem to understand why the crash is happening on the iPad mini 4.

Apple states,

"SF Symbols are available in iOS 13 and later, macOS 11 and later, watchOS 6 and later, and tvOS 13 and later."

But does not share that only particular symbols can be accessed in different iOS versions. Reference

Apple has added new symbol at various times. The chevron.forward symbol was added in iOS 14, which is why it's crashing in iOS 13 for you.
