Looks like a debug build since it is at beta10. Install from market?
So this turns out to be due to a bug in MobileFrontend throwing errors from the API, and would affect the previous as well as the current version of the app. I'm updating the bug summary to "Commons app crashes on malformed server API response". Some more user-friendly error message should probably show up here, or it should do a graceful retry or something.
As the Mobile Apps Team is focussing on the new, native Wikipedia app, the Commons app is no longer being maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. I am WONTFIXing all open Commons app bugs to reflect that we will not be spending time fixing them.
