are you able to get us the logs from logcat by any chance? the easiest way is to use android studio and connect your phone to the logger

I used Android Studio and Logcat.

If necessary, I can attach a full Logcat.

Also reproduced this on the emulator.

It looks like the latest Retrofit update is causing our Jackson version to be at 2.17, while we have intentionally kept it lower because this increases the minimum SDK requirement (#3518).

https://github.com/square/retrofit/blob/trunk/retrofit-converters/jackson/build.gradle#L6 ->
2.9.0: https://github.com/square/retrofit/blob/2.9.0/build.gradle#L29
2.10.0: https://github.com/square/retrofit/blob/2.10.0/gradle/libs.versions.toml#L71 -> https://github.com/square/retrofit/blob/2.10.0/gradle/libs.versions.toml#L23

The app uses 2.13.5:

android/gradle/libs.versions.toml

Line 34 in 973b50d

jackson-module-kotlin = "2.13.5"

Gradle prefers the highest version:

Gradle will consider all requested versions, wherever they appear in the dependency graph. Out of these versions, it will select the highest one.
