Minecraft Only Loads 75% No Launch

After downloading the Village & Pillage update on 04/23/19 Minecraft will not load. After opening the app, I am taken to the white loading screen with the Minecraft logo and loading bars at the bottom. It will load about 75%, leaving 12 bars black/empty. The graphic for the gray bars above the main loading ones still move up and down. I would assume it is some error when trying to reach the servers. But this screen will sit for 10 whole minutes without doing anything before I close it. I am on an iPad Mini 3.

 

Thank you!
