The closest I can come with the information you’ve provided is that the app crashes because you did something wrong.

the most common reason for the app crashing is an issue with configuration files. If you call something in your code that is not in your config file or you have something mis-named. I would start there when debugging your code.

You have to help us help you first. Ideally put all of your code in GitHub or someplace similar. If that is too foreign zip it up and upload to a Google drive and share the link here. Without access to your code the best we can do is guess.

So I will add one more guess. If the robot controller is actually crashing, that is you need to restart it on the phone, not an error message from an opmode, one possibility is that you have a method calling itself (recursion), over and over until the stack overflows. This is not something rookie teams generally recounter, but it is one of the only things I have seen crash the driver station.
