Community ManagerI can confirm that manually updating the EA App to version 13.188.0.5701 (from 13.180.0.5693), it is now working for me.
I recommend that people go to the "hamburger" menu (three horizontal line) of the app, choose "Settings", to the the Application tab, and disable "Application Updates", and disable "Enable Background Services", to prevent this situation from occurring again. While you're at it, review your privacy settings as well.
In future, if you get a notice to update this App, make a system image backup (or at least a restore point) before doing the update. Then, if the update causes the App to fail, you can restore your system state and continue to have access to your games while waiting for the new version of the App to be corrected.
