PvZ 2 crashes in Arena with iOS 12.5.4. Hopefully EA sees this...

I get kicked out too. I’ve had issues for last few weeks, but not always. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled a few times. I’m also using an older iPad, with same updates as you. 

The issue is that this is happening in the current season. No issues in the last 2 seasons. Does it give you an error message or does it actually crash the game?

Mine crashes, every time in the new challenge as well as the practice as you described. I started having a problem with crashing in the last couple weeks in the Arena challenge and Penny’s Pursuit. It wasn’t consistent though, sometimes it crashed, then a couple days it played fine. This new challenge, it crashes every time. I have turned off my iPad, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game, nothing has worked. I even looked in the App Store to see if my iPad is supported; it shows it should work. I’m out of ideas. 

Hi,

Its happening to me too. 
it’s been fine with the solar sage .

I have tried doing a practice arena and it crashes as soon as you have chosen your plants.

I can play on a different device and that’s fine.

I will try to use an Android emulator to see if the Arena works.

Hopefully it’s a temporary glitch that gets fixed, I prefer playing on my iPad and don’t know if I want to play on different device. Good luck to you both. 

I hope it works for you. I’m able to play on my iPhone, so it seems as though the problem is the IPad. 

The problem is an older iPad.

It’s fine on the I phone.

ive been playing for several years and one thing I’ve learnt is to wait and see if it gets fixed and not to delete and reinstall  the game as it never works.

EA need to fix it.

This might sound weird, but this was happening to me in Solar Tomato tournament only when using appease-mint plants. I didn't use them so I had no issues. Only later I tried using them and the game would crash.

I agree, it seems to be older iPad, even though it shows it’s supported in the App Store. Yes, hopefully it will be fixed. I’ve played for years as well and have encountered several glitches, this seems to be the worse yet for me.
