Describe the bug
When I share YouTube video from the official app or Newpipe sometimes I get "Could not fetch video info". If I share the same video right after that a moment later - the download will start. Usually it happens after long period the app (seal) was not being used. It looks like it was unloaded by Android and cannot init something on the first share and full app start.

If I just share to Seal after long inactivity, l get `App version: 1.10.0 (11000) Device information: Android 13 (API 33) Supported ABIs: [arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, armeabi] Yt-dlp version: 2023.09.09.151504

Yes this link works. Actually any work but somethimes not from the firs share. But I got your point. I use Realme GT Neo 3. And I will add Seal to all battery optimization exclusions to see if it help. Previous version of Seal worked fine without such exclusion.
Exclusion Seal from all battery optimizations didn't help. Still have the same issue.
This issue is a bit complicated, because the error instance not initialized and the error java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity are actually come from different part of the code base. And I believe the issue which persists in 1.11.0-beta.2 is the former
I'm not sure if this helps, but I've attached a screenshot and a screen capture recording of the error occuring.
I'm on the latest build.
It doesn't always happen, but when I attempt a download, the toast indicating the error displays. If I attempt the download again, it will download.
The fetch_info_error_msg error appears in two files:
app/src/main/java/com/junkfood/seal/util/DownloadUtil.kt
app/src/main/java/com/junkfood/seal/Downloader.kt
If a unique error message was thrown for each error, perhaps it could narrow down which function is throwing the error.
I hope this helps. If you need any additional information, please let me know. Thanks.

I had the same issue and found the cause to be that I had transferred the seal APK from my old phone. Reinstalling did not fix it but if you clear the app data I found that fixes the issue.
