Exactly the same thing happened to me earlier today - flying my new Mavic Platinum on latest FW and latest GO 4 app on my iPhone 7 +. First flight was perfect then switched batteries, took off on the second flight and a few minutes in the app crashed. Relaunched the app during flight and it kept crashing - had to land by VLOS early on 2nd flight recording only 2 minutes in the flight records. When I got back to my car with the drone and RC safely in the case and turned off, I relaunched the app to check my footage in the Editor and it continued to crash - looks like it's not the drone/RC connection but either IOS or GO 4. I deleted the app then reinstalled it. Took it to another familiar location later on and the first flight was again perfect, switched batteries and yep, the app CRASHED AGAIN and kept crashing - landed early once more!
On my way home I checked the app with just the mobile turned on and it continued to crash again. I've deleted the app once more, deleted all cached videos and photos (in case any files were corrupted), upgraded to IOS 11.2, rebooted, reinstalled GO 4, rebooted, cleared web history, turned everything back on. Reset the camera, switched to PAL (as in the UK), changed the micro SD card to a Sandisk extreme 32gb U3, set the camera from reset to continuous, formatted the card, recalibrated the IMU and gimbal. I've turned the app on and off several times since and during all of these updates and an indoor flight test the app has not crashed as yet. The only thing left that I hope I don't have to do is turn off cache videos during flight as that would make the editor tool in the app pointless. So far, it seems to be OK but I won't know for sure until my next flights. DJI really needs to sort this out ASAP - today was the first time I have ever had an app crash using DJI drones with IOS and it must have crashed a good 20 times! On the two flights it didn't crash the MPP performed brilliantly - shame as I have waited weeks to finally fly the platinum then this happens.
