Apps crashing on me

Colvdv

I'm not sure if it is a recent update, or what the issue is, but I have noticed two apps that are now unusable. ProtonMail and Chase Mobile Banking crash on me immediately after opening.

I noticed this as of yesterday, before the latest update installed.

Did you happen to do anything with Play Services/Store or Google Services Framework (GSF)? Removing GSF is known to break dependent apps until both GSF and the dependent app itself is removed and reinstalled (in that order).

mythodical No, nothing I can think of changed from my usual setup. I did receive a Play Store Update the other day, that might have done something.

EDIT: I did change some things yesterday in Special Access. It was the clock & calendar special access that was causing an issue for ProtonMail. It is working now. I'll have to get the log to see what is up with Chase.

Colvdv The Chase app has recently introduced a memory corruption bug in one of its latest updates.

You need to relax hardening for that app so that hardened_malloc doesn't catch the memory corruption bug, which makes the app crash.

Go to Settings > Apps > Find the Chase app > Enable "Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode".

This should make the app run as expected, as hardened_malloc will now be disabled for that app.

matchboxbananasynergy was having the same problem! Is there a time to to disable it again after the next update maybe?

[deleted] That heavily depends on whether Chase fixes its memory corruption bug. I would suggest reporting it to them and making them aware that this is happening.

To be clear, this is not GrapheneOS's issue, but the app's.
