@TheEssem Given that it looks like it's trying to parse a color on launch, what color theme are you using? I use system theme, which might make sense as to why this is occurring?

[cybersulu]

I'm experiencing a crash upon opening the app also. I noticed that it only happens when I'm signed in with an owner/admin account. When I change to a regular user role on the same account/server, it no longer crashes.

I have the color set to blue inside the app.

Yup, I'm an admin as well. I assume that's where the issue stems from then

[MagicGoddess]

I'm facing this issue as well, and I'm an admin as well.

[cryofault]

Another admin account, same issue it's definitely related

[TheEssem]

Yeah, I'm also an admin.

[hazycora]

Hi, same, and on another admin account! if the color theme thing is relevant as someone else guessed, I'm pretty sure mine was set to purple.

Having the same issue here. I'm also an admin and my instance is running 4.1.0. Using a Pixel 5a, Android 13, app version 1.1.5+fork.76-play and the app Color Palette setting is set to System, in case that matters. I also noticed if I uninstall the app and then re-install it, the app will work the first time I launch it and keep working until I close the app by swiping it away.

[parkrocker]

The problem does not occur in version v1.1.5+fork.74, but it does in all newer versions.
