You open the app.
It doesn’t stay on the first screen.
Instead, it immediately tries to move somewhere else.
A profile page.
A dashboard.
A saved session.
Then the app disappears.
This kind of crash usually happens during automatic screen routing.
The app is not waiting for user input.
It’s trying to decide where you should land.
Many apps skip the home screen.
They jump straight to the last page you used.
Or they redirect based on account status, region, or settings.
If that routing logic breaks, the app shuts down.
Not because the app is unstable.
But because the destination screen isn’t ready.
Sometimes the data needed for that screen hasn’t loaded yet.
Sometimes the screen no longer exists after an update.
Sometimes the redirect points to a path the app can’t resolve.
From the user’s side, it looks instant.
You tap the icon.
The app opens—and closes.
In reality, the crash happens mid-transition.
The app starts correctly.
It just fails while moving you to the next screen.
