I have this problem, it randomly affects different apps.
Restarting the IPad is not an acceptable solution, the problem comes back straight away.
there is a bug causing this problem, even using ios 13.1.3

Restart your iPad and try again, if it still doesn’t work, force restart your iPad and try again.
Yes, this seems to be an issue with this version of the iPad OS. When I was on the beta channel, I didn’t recall experiencing this issue, but now that I’m on the public release channel, I’m noticing this all the time with seemingly random apps. When I long press on the non-functioning app, it seems that iPad OS can’t recognize it and simply shows it as “(null).”
It happens when the app is updated. The old app is deleted, a newer version loaded, but the recent apps link still points to the old version, which is long gone. No fix that I can find, other than turning recent apps off until Apple fixes it.
I turned off my recent apps function and then turned it back on... has worked fine ever since.
Where do you turn “the recent app” function off?
go to settings > general > multitasking & dock > show suggested and recent apps
Thanks!
Turning recent apps/suggestions off and then back on seems to have fixed the problem for me as well. Had been happening randomly ever since iOS 13.
I believe this issue is now fixed in latest ios., eg 13.3
