After reboot, then restarting all apps after app optimization completion leads to repeated crashes of app

[leaf-node]

To work around this, it's possible to force stop the app, then open it again.

Using version 18.0.0 of flutter_local_notifications seems to prevent the random crashes that were also occurring with similar stack traces. Hopefully this also resolves the issues with starting the app after automatic app restarts.

Try this if the error continues on the new of the app after a phone reboot:

The suggestion was to throw an exception, so I went ahead and applied the recommended change mentioned by the exception message.
