I’m posting this as it solved a problem I was having with a crashing app and it might help someone else. Maybe it is obvious.

The app that was crashing for me was the Jaguar InControl App. Each time I tried to log in at the login prompt it would crash.

Weirdly, it was attempting the login but somehow failing when receiving the data. (I’m not sure if this was a framework/ kit issue or an app issue so this might be limited to this particular crash).

Not having the time to test things properly I resorted to feeble combinations of presses before eventually attempting to login. It all failed.

The only one thing that worked for me each time ive been stuck on the log in was to delete the last character of my username. This would result in a pop up stating it could not log in. Clearing the pop up and then immediately adding the final character back results in the app not crashing and continuing as expected.

Not all features work as expected, for example I can only use remote heating function from my Apple Watch, but for the most part it works. It crashes out in the background quite a bit but seems to recover fine when I launch it.

Like I said, this might help someone who has similar ‘crash on login’ issues. It might be limited to that app so I’d be grateful for any feedback if it works in other apps too.
