Description

The user at 3997467-zen is experiencing an app crash since the 2.18 update, we asked them to move to 2.17 temporarily and this works for them for the moment.

> I’m a owner of a Xiaomi Redmi 9 and a user of your application for more more or less an year. Since yesterday I cannot open the app on my smartphone at all, it crashes instantly, but on my PC everything’s perfectly fine. I reported the bug but I thought to contact the support to provide better information if possible and to resolve the problem faster.

They've attached 8 screenshots on the report with the full log, but haven't shared other details like the OS. It seems that mainly is the following error:

`android.database.sqlite.SQLiteBlobTooBigException: Row too big to fit into CursorWindow requiredPos=2, totalRows=3`

I was unable to replicate on an Android device. Opening this for the moment, and will update the report when we get more details.

Research direction

Start with the eight attached screenshots and the full log, focusing on the SQLiteBlobTooBigException reported after the 2.18 update. Compare behavior on Android 2.18 and the temporary 2.17 workaround; done means identifying the cause of the startup crash and confirming the app opens normally after the change.
