I got a pressing issue that’s been affecting a fleet of my Samsung devices since last night. The Play Store app on the devices crashes when I’m trying to search for apps. The crash appears instantly when the Search icon on the app is clicked. Does anyone have a fix for this??

@rose-wilson , omg me too for my Pixel 10 Pro devices. I just can’t seem to search for apps with the Play Store crashing each time I try to do it. I’ve waited a long time to see if the issue resolves by itself, but it’s still the same.

I’m not facing this issue, but I think force stopping the app and then re-opening it could solve the issue.

@leo_scott , I’m experiencing this same issue on my Moto Edge 60 Pro devices. I’ve tried force stopping Play store and also disabling and re-enabling it from the device settings. It didn’t work even then.

@skylar-a , I think it’s got something to with some pending updates. A good try to fix this could be to go to the settings in Play store and check if Play store is updated to the latest version.

@leo_scott , I tried that too but didn’t work. On the contrary, I believe this is due to the latest update that the crashing occurs.

By the looks of it, I’m not the only one facing this. I’m seeing multiple reports coming up in the past few hours regarding this issue.

@rose-wilson , you’re right. It seems to be a global issue. The best bet for us would be to wait and see if Google comes up with a fix for this. Clearly, this has to be something from their end.
