[Urgent] Version 2.6.6 crash

New crash in version 2.6.6 affecting 12 users with 79 reports. 😕 It appears to be caused by uploading. I tried to contact the user to get more information, but we’ll see if he responds.

But I learned that IP address of my VPN is blocked (the one that I used on my Android device, not laptop). I am not able to test to upload via app without VPN (since there is still block from Turkey),

You might be able to avoid this problem by getting whitelisted (IP block exemption).

Just in case anyone here is still trying to find the root cause for this issue (or any issue, for that matter) and isn’t aware of git bisect, give it a try! You’ll almost always find the root cause without a lot of effort. I’ve used it multiple times with fruitful results.
