I have found a solution for anyone here. If you use wifi while playing minecraft, turn it off and use mobile data instead. I did this and then I could actually open minecraft. Then log out of you’re account and switch back to wifi. Hope this helps
Agreed. I can’t find any response from Mojang anywhere despite hundreds of people reporting it in various sites
Sorry, mines working fine now so it must be due to the server. I don’t know how to fix that so I guess you’ll just have to wait until Mojang addresses it
