Set as default launcher breaks on QPR3

Bug ReportsConfirmed

I know it's beta but it worked on my device for several months on beta track.

I can manually run it and it seems to work fine but if I set it as home launcher it cycles many times and then stops responding.

    Thanks for the report. We have confirmed that this is an upstream bug in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 and have reported this bug to Google: https://issuetracker.google.com/u/0/issues/547643926.

    We will shortly publish a hotfix release for Niagara Launcher that fixes the crash until Google releases a proper fix in an upcoming beta or stable release.

    After the latest Android 17 QPR2 beta 3 update yesterday (Aug 15) Niagara does not launch properly anymore.

    It's in a load loop and then crashes.

    I cleared the app's cache and storage.

    I uninstalled it and installed it again.

    It did not help.

    I have tried many times. I'm back to using Pixel launcher on my Pixel 9.

    Same here, any way to make it work as default?
