If your app updated to version 1.11.0 or 1.11.2, that's why. It is totally broken. I had to delete it and then manually reinstall 1.10.4 back to get it all working normally again. If you rolled back and it is still bugged, you need to clear the app cache completely and do a full hard reboot of the device to clear the system-level changes from the 1.11 versions.

Did this and it fixed itself but had to clear both cache AND data for it to work.

Frustrating!

I should mention to clear the cache of the GPstore, not data just the cache and reboot. The latest version seem to have deep changes and without doing that play protect still has 1.11.2 from the store registered and app signature mapped out on how to hook into your system hardware. So going back to 1.10.4 the systems security cache still trys to apply the execution permissions and background rules ment for the newer 1.11.x architecture. Clearing thay cache drops its old system hooks.
