Upon clicking on SE icon, blue (starting) screen appears and then I am back to home screen, SE app simply won't start. This kind of behaviour never happened before (on any other app).
I tried to remove it from "task manager", reinstalling and logging back in; neither did work.
In Settings -> Stack Exchange -> Notices I found a log message:
FILE DOESN'T EXIST, WILL CREATE: users/dev/buildagent/work/{id}/pods/target support files/pods/pods-ack...plist
- App Version: 1.4.0
- Device: iPhone7,2
- OS Version: Version 9.1 (Build 13B143)
TLDR: app starts when cellphone has no internet access.
I just noticed when I am on 3G (cellular internet) it crashes ASAP, but when I am on wifi that has no internet (for LAN etc.) app starts normally but no new content, when I turn off WiFi and iPhone switches to cellular; app crashes.
Note: I turn off WiFi using control center - so I never leave the app.
Another thing, when I force iPhone to use EDGE (slowest possible internet) app starts, and crashes after 5 seconds or so. I assume when app downloads some data from server.
Known workaround (works for me too)
I found a workaround: turn on Airplane Mode, launch the app, then turn Airplane Mode off. – NobodyNada
