[iOS] Devices Crashing upon startup

[incredible]

apps for both crash at launch 

I can’t get in to see the Spotify versions but they are the latest versions for each 

both devices have ample storage space 

iPhone X, iOS 13.4.1  , 170gb Free 

older iPad, iOS 12.4.6  , 35gb Free

Both started crashing at same time. They were fine all day. That they are both crashing indicates it’s not the device or software

An update here, I was able to solve the immediate crash, but I had to follow specific steps. For my iPhone I followed the steps outlined in the answer for resetting exactly. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Answers/How-can-I-perform-a-clean-reinstall-of-the-app/ta-p...

For my iPad, I followed the steps except  for resetting the device. For me, what seemed to fix it was the "Offload" and "Delete app" steps in Settings:

•  Navigate to General > iPhone Storage > Spotify
• Tap "Offload App" first
• Tap "Delete App"
• Reinstall

Those steps solved the crash issue for me. The issue might have been data that was still living in some cache instead of being cleared by simply uninstalling from the home screen. This might not be the solution, as I've seen others say they uninstalled/reinstalled and it still didn't work, but the steps above worked for me.

Just upgraded to premium yesterday, having same issue as others on this thread. Spotify won't load on my iphone, or my son's. Also will not play on Alexa device. It will work on my laptop. Have reinstalled app on iphone, done a soft boot and a hard boot on the phone. All latest versions of software, iOS and Spotify.

Same thing happened to me after trying to cast Spotify on my Google Home (how I listen to music everyday, nothing new). Now I can't play Spotify at all on the app, web player or Google Home.
Deactivating the wifi seems to fix the issue temporarily, but Spotify won't connect to my Google Home anymore.
Using an iPhone 6S, MacBook Pro, Premium user.
Please let us know how to fix this issue! Thx

Old iPhone 5c (10.3.3) with same issue (premium account).

"Turn WiFi and mobile data off, launch the app, turn them back on."

This has the app working again me ... after reinstalling and losing all my downloaded songs!

Reinstalling the app and hard resetting my iPhone did not fix the problem.
