Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install app
  2. Open it
Expected behavior

App should open and show a ui for me to do things with.

Actual behavior

Just shows the app icon, sometimes just a gray screen. From what I understand this is something Android shows when an app is taking some time to load and goes away after it's done doing that, after which the app ui shows up. But in this case the app ui never shows up. Also I can't provide the commit hash the way you suggested me to do, but the GitHub release page seems to have the hash listed (if i'm understanding it correctly).
Here's a sceeenshot of what I mean:

And I also tried the pre-release/beta build (commit hash: 0b94f76). Same things happens with that one.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on Android 15 using a Pixel 5 running CalyxOS 6.4.1 with Cloudstream 4.5.1 and the listed pre-release build. Capture the missing Logcat output while launching the app and compare whether the UI opens; done means the app reaches its usable UI instead of remaining on the icon or gray screen.
