Description

I am running a self-build LineageOS for microG 15.1 on Moto G5 Plus (potter) without any special tools like XPrivacy or something. MicroG is on version 0.2.4-111-gf1cdb48.

I installed Twitter 7.56.0.1048 via Yalp Store and it immediately crashes after lauchn with the following exception logged:

Research direction

Start with the supplied AndroidRuntime log and the reported Twitter 7.56.0.1048 crash on LineageOS for microG 15.1. Trace how GmsCore handles the app's Crashlytics initialization and missing libcrashlytics.so, then reproduce the startup failure on a comparable Android environment. Done means Twitter no longer crashes at startup while the relevant GmsCore behavior remains functional.
