I have:


Bug description

As soon as I open Signal I get "Unfortunately Signal has stopped."

I think this is due to a Textsecure contact changing her phone number.

Steps to reproduce

  • I was able to send & receive SMS & Signal messages this morning.
  • A contact has swapped a SIM and has a new number (signal didn't ask her to re-register)
  • I received a heads-up notification of a message from her this morning.
  • Tried to open Signal and got the "Unfortunately Signal has stopped." error.

I know correlation does not imply causation - but I can't think of anything else which has changed.

I don't want to uninstall / wipe data as a I don't want to lose my messages.

Wiping the cache and restarting the device did not fix the problem.

Actual result: Instant crash. Cannot open, take bug reports, nor back up.

Expected result: Should open - perhaps isolating the errant message.
