What was the Problem?
I have been trying to find a version of ABS that will work on the Luoran M4s that runs Android 8.1.0. Up to v0.9.70-beta I have a black background and a hamburger menu in the upper right that will not open similar to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/1369. Starting with v0.9.71-beta I instead get a blank white screen a la this comment I posted a while back. The exact device is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2JX6F5Z and at this point I'd be game to buy one for a dev if it would help get ABS working on here for my kid.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
install any apk for v0.9.59 through 0.9.70 to see menu issue
I tried v0.9.37-beta.apk too and think it was the same visual... I know it did not provide any usable way to connect to my server (no menu) but cannot remember if it actually showed the menu or not.
install any apk from v0.9.71 to v0.9.77 to see blank white screen
What was Expected?
I expect to install the current apk and be able to connect to my server to see my library since the device runs a version of android that is stated to be supported by the apk.
Phone Model
Luoran M4s
Phone OS

Audiobookshelf App Version

I did some more experimenting and found the v0.9.35 has a working menu but can’t seem to talk to my server.
Here’s what v0.9.70 looks like

Also, if there are debugging steps, including something via adb, you’d like me to do, I am happy to.
