Done

I'm having a similar issue on Android 11 (Galaxy Note 10+). I cleared the cache and data in my storage settings and was able to open it fine. I then logged into my Microsoft account again with no issues.

However, when I went to change my File Storage Location to External in profile settings (so I could access previously downloaded packs) it froze again. I waited it out and it eventually switched and unfroze. This leads me to believe there is an issue with having the File Storage Location set to External instead of Application.

I exited Minecraft and tried reopening it since my files weren't appearing. It is now freezing/taking up to 5 minutes to get past the loading screen. I still don't see any of my packs on the Global Resources area.

*Edit* I had to try clearing my data again and now I can't log into my Microsoft account. It gives me an error code of "Pufferfish".
