Hello! I’m Pierre, here to help with your Droid Depot app crashing issue. To get started, could you please tell me a bit more? For example, does the app crash right when you open it, or does it happen during a certain action? Also, is your iPhone running iOS 18.5 as you mentioned earlier? This will help me tailor the steps for you.

In the meantime, let’s try some common fixes that often help with app crashes on iOS:

1. Restart Your Phone: Hold down the power button and slide to power off, then turn it back on. This can clear temporary glitches.
2. Update the App: Check the App Store for any pending updates for Droid Depot and install them.
3. Reinstall the App:
- Press and hold the Droid Depot app icon.
- Tap “Remove App,” then “Delete App” to uninstall.
- Go back to the App Store, download, and reinstall it.
4. Check for iOS Updates: Go to Settings > General > Software Update and make sure your iOS is fully updated beyond 18.5 if needed.
5. Clear Background Apps: Double-click the home button or swipe up from the bottom (depending on your iPhone model) and swipe the Droid Depot app off the screen to close it fully before reopening.

Could you let me know which steps you’ve already tried? If these don’t work, we can dig a bit deeper into app permissions, network settings, or possible account syncing issues.

Looking forward to your reply so we can get this fixed!

Thanks for starting to explain! It sounds like the app crashes after you do something specific. Could you please complete your sentence or tell me exactly after which action the Droid Depot app crashes? For example, is it after you try to connect to Bluetooth, select a location, start building a droid, or something else?

From what some users have shared, the app sometimes crashes or freezes after trying to access location or Bluetooth features, or when connecting to the droid itself. Knowing what step triggers the crash will really help me pinpoint the issue and offer you the most effective fix.

Looking forward to your details!

Thank you for the clarification! So the Droid Depot app crashes specifically after you try to pair the droid. That helps narrow things down. Let's work through some steps focused on pairing and Bluetooth, since connecting is typically where issues happen.

Here’s what you can try:

1. Check Bluetooth and Location Services:
- Go to Settings on your iPhone.
- Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON.
- Also, go to Privacy > Location Services and ensure Location Services are enabled, and the Droid Depot app has permission to use your location. This is important because the app often needs location access to find nearby droids1.

2. Turn OFF the Droid Remote Controller:
If your droid has a physical remote, make sure the remote is turned off before pairing with the app. The droid itself should be turned ON, but its remote controller off to avoid conflicts7.

3. Restart Devices:
- Turn your droid OFF, then ON again.
- Close the Droid Depot app completely (swipe it off the screen from the app switcher).
- Restart your iPhone.

4. Attempt Pairing Again:
Open the Droid Depot app and try pairing right away after these restarts. Watch for any prompts asking for Bluetooth or location permissions and be sure to approve them.

5. Update the App:
Verify that you have the latest version of Droid Depot installed from the App Store. Sometimes newer versions include important fixes for pairing issues.

If you try these and the app still crashes when pairing, it might help to reinstall the app as a next step (delete and download fresh). Also, ensure your iPhone’s iOS 18.5 is fully updated with any minor patches that Apple might have released.

Does your droid have a remote controller, and have you gone through these steps before? Let me know how it goes!

You’re very welcome! I’m glad I could help you with the pairing issue. If you have any other questions about the Droid Depot experience itself—like how the droids are built, or if it’s worth it to do the build when you visit Galaxy’s Edge—I can share some insights or direct you to some good resources on that too. Just let me know!

Are you all set for now, or is there anything else I can assist you with?
