What’s the actual process for sending these to Monzo though? There’s no actual proper channel for reporting bugs, and Monzo always send you here for those.
Can’t exactly share the full file fully on here for privacy reasons. There don’t appear to be any logs generated following the start of the launch crashing yesterday. They stop a few hours prior, which I presume was from my last successful app launch.
If there is a crash we should be notified automatically (if you have share crash reports with developers enabled) otherwise we will just get a ping that there was a crash detected (at least that is my understanding of how our iOS pipeline works)
Updating to iOS 15.6, deleting the app, rebooting, and installing fresh after a reboot has let the app launch so I can sign back in! Now I can buy my brother’s birthday present with my dodgy shops virtual card!
Using the TestFlight build again now, so if/when it does crash again it’ll send a report! Thanks @JIMMWX !
New phone. New OS. New app version. Same issue. Getting really fed up of having to fix it. Especially now Monzo want a video when I set the app back up.
Just to add. At this stage, with the amount of times I’ve had it happen, I believe I’ve identified the cause. It happens whenever the app is running in the background and you restart you phone for whatever reason. (It dies, you update it, or you turn it off, or you restart it as part of troubleshooting something else). I can reproduce the issue 100% of the time by force rebooting my phone whilst the app is running in the background (not swiped away).
It’s linked in some way to the other bug I’ve reported where the app opens but won’t load after your phone dies whilst the app is running in the background. Part of the troubleshooting to fix that issue involves rebooting your phone which in turn causes this one, and it means having to reinstall and reset the app twice if the other bug occurs first.
That’s the App Library, it’s not a shortcut. But yes if I turn my home screens back on and launch from there it’s the same. Done this troubleshooting before.
Only way to fix it is uninstall, restart device, reinstall, and sign back in. But I’m not gonna bother. I’m sick of troubleshooting things when things don’t work, especially when it’s a consistent endless loop, like it is with Monzo (I have this multiple times a week and it’s been going on for 3 months now). I’ll wait for Monzo to fix it and raise complaints.
I wonder if there are other factors involved because I’ve never had this problem. I’ve also tried doing what you said would reproduce it for you and it’s still OK.
Would love to know what they are so I can eliminate them if that’s the case! I’ve tested it on all my development phones running various versions of iOS, and across various Monzo app versions. iPhone models ranging from the first SE to the latest 14, and I’ve reproduced it on all of them.
I’d seen iOS 16 / iPhone 14 being a mare so wasn’t sure if was just the iOS, also not seen much in terms of feedback elsewhere (probs as don’t work frontline).
It’s mentioned quite a bit on Twitter. There are quite a few other threads with folks reporting what sounds like is this issue too. Here’s a few of them.
Suspect you won’t see much in the way of customers complaining to Monzo directly, given they can’t get onto the app to complain! By the time they’re back in, they probably won’t care enough either. I’ve only complained it about it on here so far. Will be sending an email off about it tonight though.
Noticing my notifications are all on here, I think I have another bug to raise, because I haven’t gotten a single one since I got my new phone, and I’ve definitely been buying stuff.
Identical, except that I don’t have the Announce Notifications option on that screen.
This happened to me last year when I used Quick Start to transfer everything from my old phone to my new one. The solution (IIRC) was to simply disable notifications in the Monzo app itself, then re-enable them.
