Garmin connect keeps logging out since last update iOS

Question

Ever since the last update 3 days ago, Garmin connect keeps logging me out of my mobile app and I have to reconnect and re-sync my Fenix5 with the app. It is very frustrating.
I am on an iPhone 11pro and all software up to date.

Hi! Try this. If GC asks for sign in, just end the app (double click home button and end GC ) do not logo in. The try opening it again. It works for me. But it is weird.

All working fine fine for me now for the last few days with latest iOS v13.3 & connect app 4.25.2.1. 
 FR 935 has also had update via Connect app / BT to v15.00 and seems stable

Hi! I tried closing the GC app (backgroud also) and then opening it again. It is weird, but it reopens logged in and with my devices connected. Thanks for the tip!

I got this workaround from Garmin Support 
 "UPDATE ! A potential workaround has been discovered: 
 As a workaround, please force-close the app when asked to sign-in again, then relaunch the app. 
 After relaunching the app, you will not be asked to sign in again but will need to touch 'Skip' when they are asked to select a device. At that point, the app will return to the MyDay screen and the customer will find that their device(s) is/are already paired and Connected. 
 Please note that these steps will not permanently resolve the issue. The issue will still likely occur again at a later time but will prevent the need to sign in and re-pair the device each time."

'Solution' for me is: 
 1) Open Garmin App after phone has been off. It will ask you to log in. Ignore this and kill the app (double tap home and swipe it away). 
 2) Reopen the Garmin app. It will now ask you to select your device. Just tap Skip at the bottom. Then Skip again. Then I tap 'Fitness' option on the 'what will you use this device for'. 
 3) It should now bring you to the main app page with all your existing devices still connected.

I *think* I found a workaround. Here's what I did: 
 1. Cleared the Safari cache / cookies (Settings --> Safari --> Clear History and Website Data). I did this in response to one of the other suggested answers. It may not be a necessary step. 
 2. Log into the Garmin Connect ( website not app) on Safari (force the login on Safari) and check "Remember me". My thinking is this forces the login cookie to be saved. 
 3. Log into Garmin Connect Mobile, 
 4. Add the GPS device. 
 So far, so good for me. I've shut down my phone (iPhone 11), force-closed the app, etc. and GCM has not lost the login / GPS device (yet). 
 My guess is that the app uses the login cookie, and the current version of the app is not setting the cookie correctly.
