Additional Context
Due to this incomplete uninstallation, the app sometimes throws a few system error popups too, for which app needs to be re-installed
@bitwisebro I'm confused as to why users might uninstall the application while it's running.
Good question @LucasXu0 ! Users may attempt to uninstall the application while it's running if they encounter unresponsiveness or freezing. However, this bug could make the user experience even more frustrating.
@bitwisebro I think users will close the app instead of uninstalling it when it freezes.
@LucasXu0 , there is a likelihood that a user chooses to uninstall when the app is freezing. We should take care of this case.
