I am using AntennaPod 3.10.3 on Android 16 (Pixel 9a) and have been encountering an elusive issue where the app occasionally stops playback and disappears entirely from the foreground without displaying a crash dialog or generating a crash report.
This typically occurs during an active listening session when I unlock the phone and attempt to interact with the playback UI (often by long-pressing the app icon and opening the queue). As I begin navigating back toward the player, playback abruptly stops and the app vanishes as if it were force-closed by the system.
The behavior is inconsistent, occurring roughly once every couple of days, and has been observed both with and without Bluetooth audio devices (Pixel Buds A-Series, Sony WI-C310, and wired USB-C headphones).
No explicit crash logs are recorded, which suggests possible background process termination, lifecycle mismanagement, or an OS-level interruption rather than a traditional crash.
Is this a known issue, or has anyone else observed similar behavior under Android 16? Any insight into potential causes or debugging strategies would be appreciated.
