The app crashed the moment you opened a conversation, if it wasn't your default SMS app.
Android grants the message permissions to whichever app holds the default-SMS role and takes
them back when it doesn't, so an app that isn't the default can't read the message database at
all. This one was asking to be your default instead of asking for those permissions, rather
than as well — so if you declined that first prompt, or just backed out of it, the next
recipient you tapped took the app down. No dialog, nothing in the way of an explanation.

It asks for both now, the default-app prompt first, because saying yes to that one grants
everything at once. Saying no to all of it is no longer fatal either: the conversation opens
empty rather than sitting on Loading or dying.

Found by a Kompakt user on Reddit. It could only ever happen to someone who hadn't made this
their default app, which is why it stood as long as it did.
