Twitter crashes on startup: couldn't find "libcrashlytics.so"

See original GitHub issue

I am running a self-build LineageOS for microG 15.1 on Moto G5 Plus (potter) without any special tools like XPrivacy or something. MicroG is on version 0.2.4-111-gf1cdb48.

I installed Twitter 7.56.0.1048 via Yalp Store and it immediately crashes after lauchn with the following exception logged:

I can also confirm this issue. Twitter 7.62.0.1058 microG 0.2.5.12879

It seemed odd that a crash occurred in 7.56 and 7.62 but not in 7.59. I thought that perhaps @ale5000-git reported it working due to some other ROM specific reason, so I tried out 7.59 and it worked! Does Twitter keep enabling/disabling something in their builds?

Possibly related to #208.

Firebase Crashlytics looks like the same thing that Twitter acquired in 2013. I haven’t seen any other apps that have a Crashlytics related crash, so I wonder if Twitter has some type of special API access.

(I’m also obligated to note the humor of a crash analysis tool being the cause of a crash.)
