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:
- degoogle device
- install gmscore
- observe that recents work fine
- install phonesky
- observe that recents are now broken
- uninstall phonesky
- 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.
