I'm pretty sure the dev team is able to repro consistently on an iPad Air 2 simulator. From repro to fix SHOULD be a relatively short path... hopefully!
On simulator on iPad Air 2 we're able to workaround by starting the App with the iPad rotated in Portrait mode. We'll confirm if this workaround works with a real device shortly.

MDP2 2.201 that corrects the black screen issue is now available on the App Store.  For those that were impacted, thank you for your patience.

Two workarounds for the black screen:

- start initially in portrait mode, then should work in landscape mode

- if you started in landscape, kill the app (swipe up), then restart the app

excellent, we're still aiming to fix ASAP, but workarounds are a necessary evil. Thanks!
We've got a fix submitted for Beta review to Apple, so we should have fix release 2.201 out by Friday latest.
