You tap the app icon.
The logo flashes for a split second.
Then the app disappears.
No error message.
No loading screen.
It never reaches the first screen.
This type of crash happens in the narrow gap between launch and UI initialization.
The app starts, but the first screen is never allowed to load.
At this stage, the app is already running basic startup code.
Configuration files are read.
Initial layout resources are prepared.
If something goes wrong here, the app shuts itself down immediately.
Common triggers include broken layout files, incompatible UI components, or corrupted startup settings.
The app does not freeze.
It exits on purpose to avoid loading a broken screen.
This is why the crash feels instant.
The app fails before you ever see it.
