This is ONLY a temporary solution and it's not a great one since you can't have your phone constantly with a wrong date cause it affects several other things.
As soon as you change the date for the correct one and you need to restart the app the issue returns.
This kind of games requires a permanent capacity of logging in and this is only viable with a mobile phone, so, the android and ios connection is a MUST and need to be reliable and always available.
EDIT at 8:40pm GMT+1 : my app restarted and connection hold on without the need to change date again. Hope this can be a good indicator
