As you can reproduce the crash you can connect your phone via USB to a computer and start 

adb logcat -b all

and then start the problematic app on the device.

You will get the logcat output until the device reboots. Hopefully there is an indicator why the crash happens.

Note: this requires enabled adb on the device and adb running on your PC.

There is a second way reading the kernel messages after the reboot happens, but the path (e.g. /proc/last_kmsg) of the saved kernel messages have changed over the time and it is not enabled by default on all devices.

If you are interested in this way see for example this topics:

    As a side note: kernel log is not usually helpful when fixing apps related problems. kmsg includes logs only from kernel and some native daemons including init, not Java framework of Android. But pstore can be configured to get logcat if device doesn't boot to adb stage. – Irfan Latif Jan 09 '20 at 18:50
