Description

Checks
  • I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:

When I try to launch the app (the nonet variant) it shows a blank screen with its green status bar for a couple seconds, then crashes with the "Unfortunately... has stopped" message. Dismissing the message shows it once again after a few seconds, after then it closes completely.
I'm not sure what is causing this, I've tried searching logcat output and there doesn't seem to be anything related to this app?
1.14-r4 still worked fine. Please fix or bump the minimum SDK.

Describe what you expected to happen:

No response

What version of Keepass2Android are you using?

1.15-r1 and up, didn't try the "preview" versions for 1.15 so not sure when exactly it broke

Which version of Android are you on?

Galaxy J1 mini prime, stock TouchWiz (albeit "debloated"), Android 6.0.1

Research direction

Reproduce the crash using the nonet variant on Android 6.0.1, comparing 1.14-r4 with 1.15-r1 and later versions; inspect the startup behavior and available logcat output. Done means the app launches on the affected device, or the minimum Android SDK is clearly raised and documented.
