[taxi.android.client] FREE NOW app is not usable/rendered

Affected app
Name: [e.g. FREE NOW]
Package id: [e.g. taxi.android.client]

Describe the bug

The FREE NOW UI is somehow not rendered and thus not usable. See screen recording below.

I am opening it here because it has happened a couple of times that the app UI became fully functional, but it stopped working once again and I didn't get a change to get any logs/recordings.

Additionally I can see in microg settings that the location is correctly obtained.

Here are the app logs:

If I leave running only the OpenGLRendered errors are logged.

Lastly I found the following exception in the microg logs:

System

microG
microG Core version: [e.g. 0.3.0.233515]
microG Self-Check results: [e.g. All ticked]

Reproduce the FREE NOW failure on Android and begin with the OpenGLRenderer errors in the app log, then compare them with the microG stack trace at LocationRequestManager.kt:224, 249, and 417. Done means the FREE NOW UI renders and remains usable; the report does not identify a repository test or a confirmed source change.
