    My app crashes immediately upon opening, after the splash screen but before loading any posts. I’ve tried restarting my phone. Haven’t tried clearing the app’s cache because I don’t want to relogin and also I shouldn’t be on lemmy during work anyway lol.

    Running Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with Android 13 and One UI 5.1. I have sync ultra.

    Edit: Clearing data worked until I restored my settings.

      I tried clearing the cache and that didn’t work. Also it looks like I’m still logged in so I guess idk what the cache stores lol

        Clearing the app data didn’t work either. It allowed me to launch the app and browse anonymously. I was even able to log in and browse, but when I restored my settings from the cloud backup the app crashed and now it’s back to crashing upon open.

        Side note: the restore purchases button on the setup screen did not work, but the button in the “Get Ultra” page did.
