FWIW, getting this same crash with LineageOS + MindTheGapps

[RobertoWa]

i am on a rooted android 10 stock (floyd v7) with microg, paypal working well.

I am on also LineageOS for microG 18.1 and paypal is crashing

I had the same Issues so I searched a little bit and I found Immediately a Reddit Post. This guys had the same Issues but it's turned out that LineageOS is not the Problem. It's PayPal itself who create this Problems. A Solution is to Download an older Version of PayPal: Version 8.12.1 https://paypal.de.uptodown.com/android/download/4511718

It appears downgrading is no longer possible, the app prompts the user to update blocking them from using the app.

Just tried the current version of Paypal, 8.31.0. This one does work on my phone again. With the previous version it didn't work. So if the crash is really fixed now, the crash occurred in the version range [>8.12.1 <8.31.0]. Maybe someone could verify that?

[craeckor]

Lineage user here, I can confirm it's now starting without problems

[TheLastProject]

I no longer use the app. Given 2 people say it's fixed I'll close this, someone else can create a new issue if they care.

Hey all, I happily detected that 8.31 worked back in December 2022. Naive as I was, I simply re enabled automatic updates again on the play store just to realize the latest version (~8.33) is broken again and won't start properly.

Especially interesting for @Jan200101 : I was able to reinstall the previous version using the aurora store . In here you are able to look for a specific version of an app using the app detail page as described in here. The needed version code can be found on various apk databases. I used apkmirror and the corresponding version code for 8.31 which is 1150078402 .

Works like a charm this way. Whoever has some online reach like a blog or vlog: Spread the word and help our lost souls out there.

Love and out.

Yeah, I found this version to be working too when it initially came out, but thanks for the heads up.

Lets hope this one won't be disabled so quickly again.
