How can I save Candy Royale streak when stuck "Contacting App Store"?

Question

I've been working for to complete my Candy Royale streak. I'm 16/22 levels in, and I'm stuck on "Contacting App Store" screen. I know from previous times this has happened if I restart the app, I'll lose my streak. I've already spent $20 to save this streak because I was determined to make it happen this time, but now I'm going to have waste all that effort and money because of a bug. Can anyone please help?

Please stop spending money on this game. That would be my best advice here. King won't refund your money if the game hangs up for any reason. You are wasting your money.

Actually, I got a phone call and apparently this killed my game anyway so now I'm out of luck. This is infuriating. I've spent thousands of hours and hundreds of REAL dollars for this to keep happening over and over.

Again, I know HOW to fix the issue, but all the fixes make me lose my streak and the time and MONEY I have invested to get this far. I was prepared to use gold coins to pay for a few more moves and save my streak.
