After update, game crashes on opening, but loads normally on second attempt

Phone: iPhone XR
iOS: 16.6
Game has been updated to the latest (Aug).
I don't have the unable to login problem, but what I do encounter is that when I click on Contest of Champions app to load it up, I see a black screen like it is loading and then it instantly crashes me back to my Home screen. If I then click on the app again, it loads up normally.
As a side note: When the game does load up correctly, I keep getting pop up Game Center notifications of Achievements that I obtained years ago. It repeats showing me these notifications despite having already seen/acheived them before.
