This apparent bug, is really annoying.

I was just about to post a new topic on this, but saw people already getting this problem in their apps. Specifically it's in version 6.0.2 developed by GitHub user veloce. I got that update around an hour back, and have been seeing this problem since then.
When I close the android app and re-open it I have to sign in again.

same here. I am sad boy. please fix so I can play bad chess again!

Hello, same here. Bumping to get it noticed.

Guys, seems there's another discussion going on at GitHub with the developer himself. See if this helps.

Per the GitHub link and the workaround provided by the developer, I uninstalled and reinstalled my Android Lichess app. And the problem seems to be gone.
