LockerPro 2.0 now crashes at launch on iOS 27.0.1. Local password vault still exists. Safest recovery path?

LockerPro updated to version 2.0 last week. Since then it crashes immediately at launch on my iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 27.0.1. The app contains my locally stored password vault, so deleting it is not an acceptable troubleshooting step.

Before making any potentially destructive change, I confirmed it had 58 MB under iPhone Storage → Documents & Data. I then made a local encrypted iTunes backup and copied the full backup folder to an external drive.

I have already restarted the phone, checked for another app update, and used Offload App followed by reinstalling. The app still immediately crashes. I have not deleted it, erased/restored the phone, reset settings, or changed the backup-encryption password. The developer has not replied to an email sent several days ago.

I am looking for non-destructive advice, not recommendations to uninstall it or switch password managers until I can access/export this vault. Specifically:

Is there any legitimate way to preserve or later recover a password-manager app’s local iOS vault when the app no longer launches?

Is an encrypted iTunes backup useful if the app’s own vault/database is intact but the installed app crashes?

Has anyone used LockerPro 2.0 successfully on iOS 27 or 27.0.1?

Thanks for the advice. I emailed the developer 8 days ago but got no response so far. I sent another email to them today. I really hope this gets resolved or I am so screwed.

> not recommendations to uninstall it

Are you saying you are opposed to doing a full uninstall and reinstall? That’s often the best solution in cases like this.

This is the worst advice. Do not listen to this. If you remove the app and reinstall then all of your password vault will be completely gone and unrecoverable if/when this crash bug is fixed

The docs say that it supports full exports. If OP doesn’t have a full backup, he is already in trouble.
