Bug description
I have restarted my Oppo phone in hopes that it'll be resolved, but only to be greeted with pop outs of "Signal keeps stopping". I've cleared cache and changed the battery setting to "allow background activity" in case it may due to battery optimization yet still nothing has resolved. Do I just need to wait for the next update?
Also for additional context, I have both app stores: Play store & Neostore. Would it affect if at first I installed the app from Play store but updated the Signal app in Neostore? Just wanted clarification.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked debug log and reproducing the startup crash on an Oppo A94 running Android 13 with Signal 8.19.2. Investigate whether installing from the Play Store and updating through Neostore is relevant; done means identifying the crash cause and documenting or implementing a verified resolution.
