Recently I noticed bad XAPK packaging (like inconsistent version code), apps downloaded from apkpure/apkcombo. Download from playstore and merge then let us know your results

Problem is not in the xapk, because if I use Apktool M, or use SAI to install xapk, app can run fine.

I merged and installed the app, I can't replicate this. Provide your logs from APKEditor
