App freezes on Android Auto until phone is unlocked

App version: 3.7.0 (8331bc128)

Android version: 12

Device model: Galaxy Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B)

Expected behaviour: AntennaPod should work seamlessly in Android Auto without needing to touch the phone or unlock it, just as any other Android Auto enabled app.

Current behaviour: Sometimes when I open AntennaPod in Android Auto car display with the phone locked, it hangs refreshing podcasts list, episodes list or any of the lists untill I take the phone and unlock it. It is the action of unlocking the phone (f.i: with the fingerprint) that releases the lock and causes the app to refresh the list on the screen.

First occurred: not sure, maybe I noticed it for the first time 3 or 4 weeks ago. It happens sometimes, not allways.

Steps to reproduce:
