Description

Android version 4.2.2
Keybase version 1.0.0-alpha-2

I signed into my Keybase account using my username and my desktop device. Adding the code worked ok. I named the device and clicked continue, then the app crashes.

If I reopen it, I can see that the "Phone" device has been created (it's in the list of devices to use for signing in, along with the desktop and the paper key) but it doesn't seem to be associated with the app.4.2.2.

I revoked the device and tried again, but the same thing happened.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash in the Android app using Android 4.2.2 and Keybase 1.0.0-alpha-2: sign in, add the code, name the device, and select Continue. Check whether the created Phone device remains associated with the app after the crash; done means completing setup without a crash and retaining that association.
