Installed tasker for the first time, crashed on startup. Uninstalled. Now gmail crashes on startup

I purchased and downloaded Tasker today onto my Verizon Galaxy S8.

After it installed, I tried running it, and it crashed.  I tried starting it a few more times, and it crashed every time.  So I uninstalled the app and got a refund.

Now my Gmail keeps crashing.  I'm guessing Tasker installed some sort of hook to be able to use Gmail, but it wasn't (un)installed properly, so now Gmail itself is broken.

Is there any way to cleanup whatever it is Tasker has done to Gmail?

Oh, and I also get notifications that Email has crashed, which I don't use.

Other apps are crashing as well ... I tried installing + uninstalling Tasker again.  This time it installed, and ran without errors, then I uninstalled it.  But apps are still crashing.  Have also rebooted my phone.

Tasker really seems to have done a number on my phone :(

Apparently this is not related to Tasker ... just unfortunate timing with a Google related bug:
