Recent apps gesture/button not working

We have gotten several reports about the recent apps' gesture/button not working. The app overview does not open. We have investigated the issue, and it seems to be caused by Android itself. It affects all third-party launchers.

We have gotten reports of this happening on Android 12 and 14, specifically on MagicOS and XOS.

A temporary workaround is to force-stop the system launcher.
