You tap the app icon.
For a split second, it looks like the app is about to open.
Then it’s gone.
No loading screen.
No error message.
You’re right back where you started.
This usually means the app begins launching but fails almost immediately.
The system allows the first frame, then shuts the process down.
From the outside, it feels confusing.
The app clearly reacts, so it doesn’t feel “dead.”
But the launch never makes it past the very first step.
The app is stopped before it can show anything meaningful.
This is different from apps that load slowly or crash after opening.
Here, the failure happens in a blink.
