There are a couple bugs for this already, and it seems to happen when your network is unstable or your instance is under load. If it seems random, it's probably just a crash when the hung network request to your server finally errors out.
If you notice any immediate crashes (i.e. you do X then it crashes immediately), please note those.
You're on lemmy.world which is still using v0.17 and the new jerboa version requires v0.18 to fully work.
lemmy.world will be updating when v0.18.1 gets released so for the time being revert back to jerboa 0.0.34/33. It'll crash every time you launch so turn on airplane mode, go to the login menu and only then turn airplane mode off and click log in
Jerboa crashes every time I start the app.
Are you still on v34 or earlier? only v35 seems to be working for now.
I have a fork of the app v34 where I fixed the issue enough so that people can log into a Lemmy v0.17 server or browse anonymously.
I'm on v33 still.
[Edit] I was able to manually update Jerboa to v35.

0.0.33/34 still crashes for me on launch with airplane mode on.
Hmm, not sure about that then. If you have no Internet access it shouldn't crash as it has no way to get the incompatible data
🤷♂️ I'll just wait for the instance update. Using liftoff app in the meantime.
The workaround I found is:
This way you'll be able to login and use the app normally.
That did work.
I did that, but had to enable airplane mode to be able to navigate do the login screen.
Thanks!
I'm glad it worked :)
My answer was incomplete: you should've opened the login screen before tapping the icon. I've just updated it.
