Exact same issue here.
Well the battle arena seems to be fixed and not crashing anymore but I still can't unlock the Blaze Leave which crashes the game to IOS Desktop which I updated to latest version.
My last update is from Mon Dec 2 06:00:00 2024 when checking "News and Updates".
I haven't seen those "Data Update" jobs in the last couple of weeks which you would sometimes get when playing arena or penny's.
IOS 18.2.1
I have 11.99GB free
7th Gen Ipad
I solved my problem.
So there was an update in the App Store but it was not showing meaning when I searched for Plants vs Zombies2 it would show it and the only option was "Open".
But only when I clicked on the app in the store it would go to the app homepage and now it showed there was an "update".
In the past it would already show an update when searching the app in the app store but apparently you now have to go the the application homepage which probably triggers a check if there is an update available. That's not so clever from Apple or whoever decided to implement it this way,,,, My 2 cents but lessons learned.
Now the application is working like it should. No more crashes etc.. and I could unlock Blaze Leave without crashing to ios desktop.
PS: I have never lost my progress but I registered my email with EA and that seems to work in regards to backups.
I just updated the game and my account and game progress are gone! ! !
