Garmin Connect Version 5.26.1 stuck on loading screen (Android)

For the past couple weeks, the latest version of the Garmin Connect app doesn't even launch or sync anymore. I've already tried reinstalling and clearing the cache/data.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A31 on Android 12, and my device is a Vivoactive 5.

  •  It looks like we are actively rolling out an update to 5.27. Please update to that as soon as it's available and reach back out here if you are still having this concern on that updated version. 

  • Today I started having the same problem. The app has been working great up till now. Current version is 5.27.3.

    I tried everything possible, including deleting cache, deleting storage, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, deleting the Play Store's cache and updates, then reupdating. Restarted the phone multiple times. Nothing works, get stuck on the same screen in the attached photo. Have a Google Pixel 6 Pro with latest Android OS version.

    My wife has an identical phone and has the exact same issue. Bummer.
