Hello! I’m sorry to hear that Game Dev Tycoon NETFLIX crashes with a black screen after a short time on your iPad running iOS 18.5. To help you better, could you please tell me:

- Does the game crash right after starting a new game or after some gameplay?
- Have you recently updated the game or iOS version before this started happening?
- Have you tried any troubleshooting steps already, like restarting the iPad or reinstalling the game?

While I wait for these details, here are some simple steps you can try which often solve such issues on iOS devices:

1. Restart Your iPad: This can refresh system resources and clear temporary glitches.
2. Close Background Apps: Double tap the home button or swipe up to see apps running in the background, and swipe them away to close.
3. Check for Updates: Ensure both iOS and Game Dev Tycoon NETFLIX are updated to their latest versions available.
4. Reinstall the Game: Delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store. This can fix corrupted game files causing crashes.
5. Check Storage Space: Verify you have enough free storage on your iPad, as low space can cause app instability.

If these don’t help, there might be a deeper issue like a compatibility glitch or corrupt save data. Then we can explore advanced solutions like resetting game settings or checking for known bugs in the latest version.

Please let me know what you have tried or observed, and I’ll guide you from there!
