App crash when attempting to open an encrypted folder

[bkilpat01]

When creating the folder, I received an error that there was a failure to upload metadata. When trying to open it, I receive the error below and the app crashes.

Cause of error

Exception in thread "Thread-12" java.lang.IllegalStateException: metadata is null!

See https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/12704#issuecomment-2028809989 for solution

That solution doesn't apply to this behavior - I don't have an app called "duplicatefinder" installed. However, I just added a file through the desktop client after enabling e2ee there and was able to open the encrypted folder on my android and access the file without the app crash.

When creating the folder, I received an error that there was a failure to upload metadata.

Any idea what the original error was? What version of Nextcloud Server + the End-to-End app are you using?
