Android App Crashes when trying to connect to Home Assistant instance

[saniho]

Home Assistant Android version:
beta-2234-6c64b31f-full

Android version:
Android 6.0.1

Phone model:
Galaxy Tab 2 10

Home Assistant version:
2022.4.0

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem:
Android Home Assistant app cannot connect to home assistant instance: either local home assistant domain (http://homeassistant.local/) . I can configure the home assistant instance from my phone, but the galaxy crashes a few seconds after I select the instance from the instance selection screen. I briefly can see the "Connecting..." loading message before the app fatally crashes. Consistently reproduced after fresh installs on my galaxy tab.

Traceback (if applicable, to get the logs you may refer to: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting/faqs/#android-crash-logs):

I was having the same problem running the latest version of the android app on a very old Nexus 10 device. I fixed it by clearing all app data, removing the app, opting out of the beta and installing the latest stable release.

Did you get the exact same error as the above screenshots? Can you confirm the version of android the tablet is running? Fixing the issue by opting out of the beta is not a real fix because once we cut a release the issue will then be in the release version.

Found the cause: FasterXML/jackson-databind#3412, looks like the app is crashing on all API <26 devices since the 19th of March... Can easily be reproduced on an emulator.
