iOS: crashes shortly after starting app
Game crashes shortly after opening. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing in the game or if it is on Wi-Fi or not. It crashes in settings. It crashes trying to open a server. I deleted the game and redownloaded it. I updated everything on my phone. Nothing has improved the crashing.

I am using android version 14. Even now, crashes at startup occur.In my case, when I launch the app, the logo is displayed, but it crashes after a while. By the way, I also reported on MCPE-176504 about this matter.

This (MCPE-173682) issue is specific to iOS only. Since you already reported separately, it would be best if any updates that you have were noted there instead of here.
Note: the similar issue with iOS is tracked in MCPE-173682
I had this very problem on a different device. I bought a new phone because of this problem. Two months later it’s happening again on my brand new iPhone 14 pro. If I delete the game and don’t sign in with my login name the app works fine. It’s something tied to my Xboxlive account.
I created a new account. It seemed to be running. I was able to run the game and add friends though I never loaded a server. I closed the game and texted a friend that it was working. When I reopened the game it crashes again with in 5 seconds. I can’t play the game at all. I wasn’t on Wi-Fi at the time so I tried loaded while I was on Wi-Fi. It didn’t make any difference. My phone is less than 3 months old. Everything has been updated. Every app and the latest operating system. What can I do?
Same issue since update to 1.20.13. Game opens and crashes after about 5 seconds. Have deleted and reinstalled app and signed in again but issue still there. Running IOS 16.6 on iPad
Same issue. Crashes when connected to internet. 1.20.13, iOS 16.6, 9th gen iPad
i have this same issue, although i also have the issue of whenever i am already playing a game or am in a world, and my brother opens up minecraft, my game crashes as well. it works perfectly fine before this point, i can enter and leave a world as many times as i want, but as soon as he joins it crashes. I’m ipad 9th gen he is 8 and both on the newest mc and ios versions
I'm having similar issues. On iPad the game crashes shortly after opening. It only seems to happen when my Microsoft account is signed-in to Minecraft (not as an anonymous user).
I have tried this on two iPads that have Family restrictions(apple) enabled, even with different Xbox live accounts. One Xbox live account has family restrictions, but either can produce the error. I’ve signed into a Xbox live account with no purchases or restrictions and the same issue persists. When I sign out of the account, the app works ok. I’ve tried reinstalling the app on one device with clean install and settings. When I tried it on my iphone which does not have family purchase restrictions enabled, the app works fine. This seems like an issue with either iPadOS or Family restrictions. My iPadOS version is iPadOS 16.5.1 (20F75). Device is iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation) MHMT3LL/A A2301. The device is 5G enabled, but it occurs on either Wi-Fi or 5G.
Both of my sons are having this issue on their iPads. It started about 3-4 weeks ago. We have tried everything to fix it. Have tried to change settings in Minecraft but it won’t stay open long enough. It crashes and closes shortly after loading the home page. We have deleted Minecraft off the iPad and reinstalled twice. We have tried opening Minecraft while connected to different networks. Same issue every time - it closes automatically shortly after opening. The same issue is occurring on both iPads with two different gamer accounts.
Same issue. Two brand new ipads one works the other crashes. When it crashes the game is thrown in to the background so I'm not sure it's a complete crash since the app is just thrown in to the background. The game is unplayable, happens anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds when start the game. Deleted app and data, wiped ipad nothing worked. However it does work when disconnect from wifi and not logged in to Microsoft account. This has been going on 3 to 4 weeks now and nothing has fixed it.

Mojang, Is anyone working on this? Has this bug been confirmed? Please communicate. I cannot play this game at all.
All same for me. iPhone 13 Pro Max. Updated software for iOS and Minecraft app. Have been working on this relentlessly and even gotten technical support elsewhere. Very annoying. Please address.
I have same issues. Game pops out after I hit play. Sometimes it will go to the game then pops out. Very frustrating! Tried all the things people have suggested! Nothing worked. Please fix.
My sons iPad is having this issue as well.
Device: iPhone 12 Pro Max 256Gb
iOS version 16.6
Minecraft version 1.20.13
I cannot access this game for more than about 1 minute. I can open the game, but as soon as it logs me in it goes immediately to my phone's home screen. If I swipe up to see the open apps, it is there and if I open it, it loads the MCPE home screen and I am still logged in. If I try to play, it lets me start to create a world and then flips back to my phone's home screen. I have tried removing the app, reinstalling, made sure everything was updated, removed apps and other things taking up storage on my phone even though I already had over 100 GB free, restarted several times, and nothing seems to change this. Please fix, this game is the only game I have on my phone and I really miss playing it.
We’ve been having the exact same issue ever since the newest update, it has only affected the iPad, which is where my son plays it. I have gone through all of my settings, reset the iPad, force shut the game, deleted/redownloaded, gone to all supporting sites for help and no resolution.
My teen had just updated to Bedrock 1.20.40 last week on an updated iPad and the game load process has never made it past 40% since then. We'll get the Mojang screen but as soon as it starts to load, it quickly crashes. We even offloaded Minecraft and re-installed it but same problem occurs. Plenty of RAM on the iPad too.
Happening on my iPad too. Loads up to the 40% mark exactly and then immediately crashes.
Tried upgrading my iPad iOS to 17, but it didn’t help. .
still crashing at 40%
Game loads red MOJANG screen, then solid white screen, then gray Minecraft loading screen with progress bar to 40%, then immediately crashes back to iOS Home Screen.
Self-resolved for a few days, and now the problem is happening again. Yesterday, I was playing Minecraft. I sat my iPad down for a couple of hours. When I picked it back up, the app wouldn’t load without crashing. I’ve tried with WiFi on and off. Tried on iOS 16.7.1, 16.7.2 and 17.1.
I am experiencing this as well. I previously reported a similar issue in
MCPE-176408: game crashes after creating world. That issue is still 100% repeatable for me. However, yesterday I also saw the issue reported here, with the game crashing at 40% even though I didn't create a world.This became an issue for me too, after the most recent update on the App Store. I’m using an iPad Pro. Whenever I click on the Minecraft app, it loads for a second then immediately crashes. I can’t even get to the menu screen before the app closes down. I will attach a video showcasing this. I tried deleting and reinstalling Minecraft, which works for a little while. The first time I open the app, after reinstalling, Minecraft works fine. However, if I close the app and try to re-open it again, it continues to crash. I thought maybe the crashes were related to the mods I had installed, but even after removing all mods, it crashes.

I also made a separate issue for it here:
MCPE-176567Still crashing. It’s been several days now.
May it be cured in the next update.
1.20.41 seems to have fixed it.
No. I'm still crashing in my environment.
Thank you for your patience while we investigate this issue. Is this still an ongoing issue for those that had the problem before? If so, have the repro steps changed at all, or is it still crashing at the 40% mark?
After updating to 1.20.41 I’ve not had any problems anymore
I am using android version 14. Even now, crashes at startup occur.In my case, when I launch the app, the logo is displayed, but it crashes after a while. By the way, I also reported on MCPE-176504 about this matter.
