Update to Erlang 24 causing a startup crash - Failed to load NIF library

Update: Looks like it was because I had :wx in the extra_applications in my mix.exs. Having inherited this project, it took some time to figure out. This project ran inside a docker environment, and we definitely weren’t doing any GUI stuff with it. After removing it (along with some other unused dependencies), the project compiled and started fine.
