I managed to get 34 going again by very quickly and repeatedly tapping the top left corner of the screen (hamburger menu) at startup. Uninstalled and did it again to verify.
Just keep trying if it crashes.
Wasn’t working for me, app crashes before I could do anything on the menu.
What I did was turn off WiFi, launch the app and go to the login screen from the menu and then only turn WiFi back on when I was ready to log in
This worked for me.
Ah, good idea. That sounds like a far less stressful method than mine.
This prevents it from trying to connect to the default lemmy.ml on startup, which is what causes the crash.
Wait, the app tries to connect to servers before even logging in? WTF?
Can confirm it works! Thanks so much
No probs. Glad to be using the app again. Can’t get used to the browser experience.
I just opened the app repeatedly after every crash. After like 10, 15 times, the app is working fine.
I just wanna thank you again for helping me figure this out earlier.
Thats ok. Wouldn’t be surprised if we have to use tricks like this again with future updates to lemmy/jerboa.
Hopefully a backwards compatibility gets added at some point.
