Description

A user in 5679938-zd-woothemes reported multiple crashes in the app when trying to launch it from the Home screen.

> Launch Pocketcasts from Home Screen. The app starts to open, hangs for a while then returns to Home Screen. looks Like it hangs then crashed. The 2nd crash situation occurs more often than the first, seems to have started happening after updating to iOS 16.1, but also updated to the latest Pocketcasts a few days prior so possibly related to something in a recent update.

Device: iPhone11,8
App version: 7.25 (7.25.0.2)
OS: iPhone OS 16.1 (20B82)

One of the crash logs was attached to the linked ticket.

Determine whether the crash is caused by the app update or the OS change. Done means the launch crash is resolved and the reported configuration can open the app from the Home screen.
