PSA: Root cause of Disney+ crashing after the splash screen on Android TV
This is not a support request. I already solved the issue and wanted to share the root cause in case it helps someone else.
After several days of troubleshooting, I found that Disney+ (v26.10.0+rc3-2026.06.13) was crashing immediately after the splash screen on two Android TV devices:
NVIDIA Shield TV Pro
Valerion Vision Pro 2
I ruled out the usual causes (factory reset, different accounts, different networks, Play Protect, Widevine L1, reinstalling the app).
Using ADB logcat, I found this exception:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.SecurityException:
Not allowed to bind to service
Intent {
act=android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService
pkg=dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer
}
The issue occurred only while AnExplorer (dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer) was installed.
After uninstalling AnExplorer, Disney+ worked normally again on both devices.
If your Disney+ app crashes immediately after launch on Android TV, it may be worth checking whether AnExplorer is installed.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
