# Next Release

## Fixes

- **Android: fixed crash loop on app open (Samsung / Android 14–16).** The VPN
  protection service crashed with `SecurityException` in `startForeground()`
  because Android 16's `validateForegroundServiceType` rejects the implicit
  2-arg call. We now pass the `specialUse` foreground-service type explicitly
  (Google's documented best practice) and guard the call so a failed
  foreground promotion can never crash the app again. Verified against the
  reported Galaxy A54 / Android 16 crash signature.
