I ran into the same issue. I clicked a link from Notification email, and the link handler gave me the option to use the app. But when I opened it in the app it immediately crashed. I realized after opening the link in the browser instead that the page linked from the email had been moved with no redirect.
I guess a simple 'this page does not exist yet :(' message would do?
It may be essentially the same issue, but the app also crashes on any non-article page that doesn't have a mobile view. This includes most special pages, and pages in the Education_Program namespace. A different message would be needed in those cases, since the problem is not that pages don't exist.
Yes. We are working on this in the next 2 weeks.
