Also reproducible on iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPadOS 16.7.16, Minecraft 26.50.
Minecraft crashes immediately on launch and never reaches the main menu.
I first force-restarted the iPad and offloaded/reinstalled Minecraft, with no change. I then backed up all worlds, completely deleted Minecraft and its local data, restarted the iPad and installed Minecraft 26.50 again from the App Store.
The completely clean installation still crashes immediately, before signing in or restoring any worlds or other Minecraft data.
Minecraft 26.50 works normally on another, newer iPad in the household.
