Same issue here. Two iPad 6th gen (2018, A10, iPadOS 17.7.11). Since the 26.50 update, the app shows the launch image, then a white screen, then crashes to the home screen after a few seconds. Worked fine on 26.45.
Already tried: deleting and reinstalling, restarting, airplane mode. No change.
Attached the crash dump (.dmp) and .crashedsession file from the Minecraft folder on the iPad.
Crashing thread calls abort() (pthread_kill) from inside Metal.framework, with AGXMetalA10 (the GPU driver) on the stack, called from minecraftpe. Looks like Metal hitting a fatal error during renderer init.
Main scene stack is empty, so it crashes before the title screen loads.
Session tag dynamicTexturesEnabled = true. Could be the common factor, since others see this on iOS 18 too.
Unsymbolicated minecraftpe return addresses from a stack scan of the crashing thread: +0xcb825e8, +0xcb8b864, +0xcb60a88, +0xcb83838, +0xcb5b1e0.
Kids can't play at all right now, and there's no workaround because the app never gets far enough to change settings.
