@bitwisebro I'm confused as to why users might uninstall the application while it's running.

Good question @LucasXu0 ! Users may attempt to uninstall the application while it's running if they encounter unresponsiveness or freezing. However, this bug could make the user experience even more frustrating.

@bitwisebro I think users will close the app instead of uninstalling it when it freezes.

@LucasXu0 , there is a likelihood that a user chooses to uninstall when the app is freezing. We should take care of this case.
