Android Google App crashing due to color parsing error

Pro tip: you can disable the Google app altogether.

Anyway, anybody knows how to land these $300K jobs that require zero product responsibility?

The relevant comment from the thread:

This crash is caused by trying to parse a color from an empty string. Possibly a server side fix wherever the app is receiving that color string from, but uninstalling or clearing the cache won't fix it. This is gonna need either a server side fix or an app update.
