Uninstalling is a waste tbh takes a long time(only if you know how to store files).
The other option is that You could just keep the apk and press update and it'll probably be refreshed the game, taking off the crash and it'll working like it is intented.
I checked the app file when it crashed, only seeing it as empty. So practically the apk probably self-destruct's itself. Or just a bug in the apk
