Teams app is crashing if window.location.hash it set

[Windows Server]

We are using the Teams Channel Tab app with a component that replies on the hash parameter.

On click of a button from a list of folder within the Tab, we are trying to set the window.location.hash.
Another component uses an event listener to listen to the hashChange and retrieves this hash parameter that was set and uses for further processing.

This works perfectly fine in Outlook addin as we are rendering the same component in Teams and Outlook
However, as soon as I set the window.location.hash, the app crashes without any error in Developer tool Console.

We have hosted the Tab app at - "https://localhost:8080/#/channel"
I am thinking of 2 possible causes for this crash-

1. Is the app trying to crash when I am setting the hash as it already has '#' in the url?
2. Is there a limitation where we cannot set and get window.location.hash while inside the Teams Tab app?
