Crash on startup after clearing Application data

Description

I was resetting the Application data for Aurora Store hoping that it could maybe resolve #873 (closed) for me.

But instead, Aurora Store just crashed at Startup, after shortly showing a white screen.

I then tried to uninstall and reinstall completely, but the same thing happened.

Expected Behaviour

Aurora Store should start normally.

Actual Behaviour

Aurora Store crashes after shortly showing a white screen.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clear Aurora Store's Data (or reinstall Aurora Store)

  2. Start Try to Open the App

  3. Aurora crashes.

Environment

  • Device model & codename: Samsung Galaxy A40
  • Android version: 11
  • Aurora Store version: 4.2.0
  • Installation method: Session (F-Droid)
  • OS: Samsung Stock OS

Logcat

Follows this weekend.

Possible solution

For Users: Don't clear Data or reinstall Aurora Store 4.2.0

For Developers: Don't know, maybe check if a file exists before reading it?
