the game crashes on start up

For anyone having this issue, here is a workaround:

Delete the game, then reinstall it. before starting the game, Make sure you don’t have any other audio (music/audiobook/etc…) playing at the same time on your device when you start the game. The game will only load if it is the sole producer of audio on your device AND if you don’t change the in-game audio settings.

If I try loading the game while having a radio station playing on my phone, it makes a weird static sound and shuts the game down. If you load the game and then turn off the in game music and sound effects, it breaks the game and you have to delete it and reinstall.
