Hello,
since last weeks build I have the following problem: The Signal Messenger App crashes each time I try to start it with the following error:
Code:

The error message change slightly since this mornings build.

Information regarding Signal: I am using the Signal Beta app.

Can anyone tell me if this is rather miui specific or a problem with signal?

BR and thanks for the stable weekly builds :)
