Description

Affected app
Name: Home
Package id: com.lge.launcher3

Describe the bug
When I install phonesky (fdroid), the next time I tap the square nav button, the recents screen will open, but each time after that will crash com.lge.launcher3.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. degoogle device
  2. install gmscore
  3. observe that recents work fine
  4. install phonesky
  5. observe that recents are now broken
  6. uninstall phonesky
  7. observe that recents work fine again

System
Android Version: 12
Custom ROM: stock

microG
microG Core version: 0.2.27.223616
microG Self-Check results: all ticked, except of course the phonesky one when it's uninstalled

Additional context
I tried switching to Lawnchair+QuickSwitch as my recents provider but that didn't work either. See https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/issues/5047#issuecomment-2560928966 for logs of the launcher3 crash—I only just figured out it was phonesky-related.

Research direction

Start with the launcher3 crash logs linked from the Lawnchair issue and reproduce the reported sequence: install gmscore, install phonesky, and open recents repeatedly on Android 12. Done means the recents screen continues working with phonesky installed, without breaking again after it is removed.
