BIMx Lab - Crashing on latest ipad Pro when clicking on the app icon

So....I truly appreciate the "look" of the new rendering quality in the BIMx Lab app. Let me start with that.
I hope GS takes it seriously and develops this app further. I've shown clients this app and they absolutely go bonkers about it and the flex it has to go right into your VR glasses is amazing.

Now, to the crux of the subject matter.
I've downloaded it into my Ipad Pro (latest version) and for whatever reason, when I touch the app to open it....it opens, then closes all of a sudden. Just seems to "try" to appear to want to open but then it closes right back up and you are back to the Ipad apps screen.

Just thought I'd let GS know.

I'm having the same issue on my 12.9", 2nd Generation, iPad Pro.

I've found that, if I hold my finger on the project for about a 3 count, let go and THEN
tap to open, it works as expected.

Gyuri: I'll email the crash logs as you noted.
