@joashrajin, can you consistently reproduce this, even after a clean install?
The crash logs show a memory-related crash, but I suspect it can be related to permissions, as it crashed before receiving the permission. I can't see a reason that the memory can be the issue without having permission to fetch medias.

Yep, I uninstalled and tried a clean install of v23.3.1 and it works fine. Clean installed 23.4 and the issue started. Updated to the latest beta and the issue persists.

I have tried giving all permissions to the app but that made no difference.

Something interesting is that the crash only occurs on my WP.com sites, not on my Pressable test sites.
