On app startup, SchildiChat crashes with error: "SchildiChat keeps stopping"

[CLtheman1]

Describe the bug There came a point when SchildiChat would stop working. A box would keep popping up on my screen telling me "SchildiChat has stopped working" until I go to settings to force stop the app. Then, when I go to open SchildiChat again it "stopped responding" and would just not work. I've uninstalled it/reinstalled it and it would be OK for a while then go back to not working. On my other device(which is now broken), I haven't had this problem. Now I'm on an old Android 8.1 device where I have this problem.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Wait until you've had SchildiChat on your device for a while.
2. See error(if SchildiChat tries to start, or you click on it).

Expected behavior SchildiChat should open and just work.
