Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/2122

Describe the bug
Version 4.8.11.5 for Android. On the first launch a black screen appears and the app becomes unresponsive. The user must force-close the app by swiping it away from recent tasks and then relaunch it manually - only on the second launch does the VPN connection interface appear correctly. Clearing the cache or reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Moreover, this behavior reoccurs sporadically after some time has passed since the last successful launch requiring the same workaround (swipe away + relaunch) to restore functionality.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install the app (version 4.8.11.5) on an Android device
Open the app for the first time.
Observe that only a black screen is displayed (no UI elements, no loading indicator).
Swipe the app away from recent tasks.
Relaunch the app.
Now the VPN connection interface appears as expected.
Expected behavior
The app should display the VPN connection interface immediately on the first launch without requiring a manual restart.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Device: Xiaomi 14T
OS: Android 16
App Version: 4.8.11.5
Server (please complete the following information):
— Not applicable (client-side issue)

Same here. Xiaomi 12T Pro, HyperOS 2.0.207.0 (Android 15), AmneziaVPN 4.8.11.5

I tried turning off "pause app activity if unused" and no restrictions in battery saver, but didn't work.

I wrote to support in December about this issue. Even then, they were aware of the situation and asked to install version 4.8.10.0. I did so, there is no such problem with it.
