TBA: Prevent crash following upgrade

For the last few releases (maybe all of them), TBA crashes after installing the update. I believe this only happens if the app was open and then the new apk is installed (therefore the app goes into the background). After the crash, opening the app again is successful and it doesn't crash (for the same reason) again.
