Double tapping strange blocks crashes the app

Bugs with Hopscotch

1 sentence description of the problem: If you double tap a strange uncommon block (such as wait til timestamp) that was added in through editing the project’s json, the app crashes

Steps to reproduce the problem every time:
(Start in a blank draft if possible)

  1. Add a new rule
  2. Add a comment saying something distinctive
  3. Close the project
  4. Open the project’s .hopscotch file in a text editor
  5. Find your comment block
  6. Change the value of type from 69 to a type that isn’t an expected block, such as 19.
  7. Save your changes
  8. Open the project
  9. Find your modified block
  10. Double tap it

I expected this to happen:
Nothing

But instead this happened:
The app crashed

Here;s a project by gaming Studio 86 who discovered this

And to think this could easily be fixed if they just added a default help docs info (i.e., “There is no info about this block”) for unknown blocks…

What’s really strange is why the player even tries to get the documentation for the block, even before you actually tap “Help”… I feel like it should only do that once you tap the option…

i remember trying to copy this block, the moment i double tap it, it crashes hopscotch as well. Same with others like Destroy Destroy Object()

Yeah, apparently that happens when the Help docs for that block doesn’t exist.
