Craigslist app for iOS: Easy way to disable the app!

iOS 13.2.3 for iPhone 8
craigslist app for iOS (1st release)
Date: 12/5/2019

Description:

Happy to finally see an official craigslist app for iOS! I've always enjoyed craigslist, so I have to, of course, report one minor bug with the app for posterity's sake.

There's a minor bug that occurs on listings. A user can cause the app to not display anything. This happens when the user simultaneously presses the "X" and the three dot share option from any product listing.

While this is unlikely to occur in a real life scenario, it is still always fun to document these types of bugs with iOS apps. These types of bugs are very common.

This is what I am seeing:

Please see the attached screenshots.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the craigslist app for iOS
2. Enter into the app
3. Head to any listing
4. From the detail page of any listing, simultaneously press the "X" and the three dot share option (takes a little practice)

Result: Easy way to disable the app by pressing the "X" and the three dot share option from any product listing inside the craigslist app

Expected: Shouldn't be able to disable the app this way

Launch the new app....

Head into the items that are for sale....

Take a look at "bicycles" as an example....

Select an item like a bicycle....

Select the "X" and the three dots simultaneously (takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy)...

Cancel out of this menu....

App is frozen like this!
