iOS Black screen bug - iPad Pro

Hiya, I'm experiencing an issue where my screen turns black but the game is still running in the background. This is similar to other threads (listed below), but here is what I have noticed:

Notes:
  • First Stardew save on this device
  • Started in Winter Year 1
  • Occurs toward end of day when nearing the farm
  • Occurs during days with atypical events
    • First instance: occurred when nearing the farm from the north path after viewing the 10-heart event for Harvey
    • Second instance: occurred when nearing the farm from the eastern path after SquidFest day 1
  • I think it's only happened on the second or third days I played during the session (e.g., Load game > play a normal day > go to sleep > wake > play the next day > error occurs.)
Game info:
  • v1.6.15.1 build 25156
  • English
  • Single player
  • Meadowlands
  • Tried uploading my save file but the site says it's too large (3.6MB). Let me know if you'd like that sent over another way.
Device info:
  • iPad Pro 5th Gen
  • iPadOS 26.3.1
  • Using Apple pencil
  • 153GB storage available
Other similar threads:
I haven't had any luck with the emergency save function yet, but I didn't realize I needed to tab to another app. Usually I don't have anything else running.

Hope this info helps because it is a super frustrating bug!
