This issue appears to be the same regression described in MCPE-232476, but I’m commenting here as well due to the lack of response on the original report.
This issue appears to be a regression: the game previously worked on Waydroid and now consistently hangs on the splash screen after recent updates.
I understand that Waydroid may be an unsupported environment, and that’s fine — but what’s missing here is clarity.
Could Mojang please confirm whether this behavior is intentional (i.e., Waydroid / containerized Android environments are now blocked) or an unintended bug?
If it’s intentional, marking the issue as “won’t fix” with a brief explanation would at least allow affected users to make informed purchasing decisions.
If it’s unintentional, some acknowledgement that the regression is known and being investigated would go a long way.
Right now, the lack of any response leaves legitimate, paying users unable to tell whether they are encountering a bug or a policy change.
this technically duplicates MCPE-232476 but there has been no response, or rather, an appropriate and timely response from Mojang regarding this critical bug that is disallowing perfectly legitimately players from playing the game they own.
This is not a technical issue, is a bug as Waydroid logs indicate that the problem is with some bundle apks not being correct, so the app doesn’t install properly, is due to the config apks, not Waydroid processing of such.
Can confirm with a similar setup on Waydroid
