ESP32-Solo watchdog resets the board while waiting for connections

[peterfoers]

When running autoConnect() on an ESP32-Solo, the access point gets created, but the watchdog resets the board while waiting for a connection on the access point. This is the output:

*WM: HTTP server started
E (16471) task_wdt: Task watchdog got triggered. The following tasks did not reset the watchdog in time:
E (16471) task_wdt:  - IDLE0 (CPU 0)
E (16471) task_wdt: Tasks currently running:
E (16471) task_wdt: CPU 0: loopTask
E (16471) task_wdt: Aborting.

rst:0xc (SW_CPU_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)

This is because the yield() in startConfigPortal() line 237 does not work as intended. If I replace it with a vTaskDelay(10), it works.
