Game is broken

Having the same exact issue...lol

Go to the Play Store/App Store and search for SWGOH. It should say it's possible to be updated rather than simply play. 

Seems they missed the window for it to be auto-updated so it's either you do it manually or you wait until the next time it'd update

This worked for me. Thanks mate. 
It has now changed the OBJECTIVES system to a new one. 

CG has been screwing up a lot lately.   But screwing up the anniversary and not fixing it for hours and hours on end......they keep setting new standards for how badly they can mess up. 

Even after manually updating it through the app store it still isn't loading for me.  Like others have said the overall quality/reliability of the game has dropped severely in the past couple of months.  Crashing all the time and not getting credit for battles won, taking forever to load, etc.  If I hadn't been playing for years and devoted so much time to it I would just quit.  

Deleting the app and reinstalling worked for me.

I had to do the same and it is working fine now. 

Thank you it worked. 

But my progress would not be lost doing that? 

It works! Thanks but now the daily objectives are no more gems. What a scam
