After opting in for realm stories the game crashes immediately when I get to the world/realm screen. I noticed this bug report for ios users and some people were able to clear marketplace cache, sign out and back in for a resolution. However, that did not work for me on Android.

Same issue for me, please help

Uninstalling the game doesn't work, neither does clearing the cache and login in and out again. 

Also confirmed for Android 13 on LG V60 ThinQ.

After opting into Realms Stories, any attempt to open the Play screen will result in game app minimizing / exiting. Cannot click any of the settings buttons or start play on a world / realm before the game does this. Force exiting the app and restarting the phone has not effect on this behavior.

UPDATE AND WORKAROUND:
I WAS able to quickly click the CREATE world button and create a local world without experiencing a crash, so this definitely is an issue involving the app's ability to communicate with realms after opting into the Realms Stories feature.

Once I exited the local world game, again, I did not experience the crash. I immediately tested to see if I could enter my realm world and had no issues joining that world. When I exited that realm, I also did not get the crash. I only happens when you open the app fresh and click on the Play button.

If you click to play a local world (really fast), you can successfully open that world and avoid the crash. This is the only workaround that I can offer players to get into their actual realm worlds.

Once you are actually joined to one of your realm worlds, you can successfully OPT OUT of Realms Stories, thus temporarily fixing the issue until the Realms Team issues a bug fix.

El mismo problema me pasa a mi, después de habilitar la opción de realm stories al momento de querer jugar en un mundo normal o en un realm se me cierra el MINECRAFT, ya reinicie el teléfono, reinicie el cache, desinstale y instale de nuevo y nada.

Another temporary workaround that works on Android devices:

  • Put phone in airplane mode before you start the game. The game will not crash when it can't connect to the realms.

  • Create new local world.

  • Turn airplane mode off and wait for the internet connection to be restored.

  • Go to the menu and click play on realm. Select your existing realm and which of the three slots do you want the new world to go to.

  • Without leaving the world, go to Minecraft Stories and opt out.

 

(I think the opt out option should be added to minecraft.net to make this process easier.)

whenever i go into minecraft on my ipad, and click on worlds, it crashes, but when im signed out, it doesn't crash

“Bumping” the report does nothing, there is no need for these comments. Mojang are aware of this issue.

Thanks for the reports, everyone. We are working on a hotfix. Don't bother with any workarounds as Realms Stories is disabled on Android and iOS until the hotfix is released.

Thanks Greymagic but the only reason they are aware of it is because of people making reports and sending it in. Even if they are "aware of it" everyone knows that the more numerous and vocal an issue is the quicker it is addressed.
If your Dr. Found a lump at your last physical weeks prior and needed to order additional test you wouldn't say ,"eh, the Dr. Is aware of it so no need for me to follow up or address additional concerns".
The most frustrating part of this bug is Mojang pushed the new realms feature into our faces, asking 2x if we are sure we want to "opt out" and then when we do try this new feature they are obviously pushing the game crashes.
Just let people share their frustration and experience without wagging your finger at them.
