Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. First reproduce the crash by opening the app in the main and Island work profiles on Android 11, then trace the failure; done means the app can be opened and used in both profiles without deleting either profile's app data.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Expected Behavior:
I wanted to use the app on both my main profile and the work profile (created with Island app).

Actual Behavior:
The app on the profile I want to use it crashes and closes if it has been opened already on the other profile. To fix it I've to delete the app data of the other profile and open the one I want. It seems like there's no other way to fix it.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem:
Open app on one of the 2 profiles. Close it and open the the app on the other profile.
I.e. I open the app on main profile. It works. I open the app on work profile. Work profile app crashes, main profile app works.

Specifications:
App Version: 0.10.0
