Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (version 26.12 on mobile) fails to start or freezes when screen recording is enabled, either via system screen recording or third-party recording apps.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Ensure screen recording (system or third-party) is enabled before launching the game.
Attempt to launch Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
The game does not start, does not reach the main menu, and becomes unresponsive without crashing.
Alternatively, launch Minecraft first, then enable screen recording while the game is running.
Observed result:
The game freezes immediately and becomes unresponsive without crashing.
Expected result
Minecraft should launch and run normally while screen recording is active, or continue running without issues when screen recording is enabled during gameplay.
Actual result
If screen recording is enabled before launch, the game fails to start and becomes unresponsive.
If screen recording is enabled while the game is running, the game freezes and becomes unresponsive.
The issue occurs with both system screen recording and third-party recording apps.
