App crashes on launch after update for me repeatedly after it scanned my fingerprint. After a successful scan it sat on the main page with no content loading, and no buttons working for a half second or so before the crash.

Couldn't get past it with a force close or a clear cache. I had to wipe the apps data which logged me out and reset my settings, and then I was able to log in again.

On a Samsing S22 Ultra running Android 13 OneUi 5.1

Did you have obscure usernames is account picker enabled?

[โ€“] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My name was starred out in the left pull out menu so I believe so yes.

I think that's what's causing the crash. I made a bug report.

Edit: after some testing I've confirmed this
