App crashes on Android TV version 7+

I have a mobile app that needs to run on Android TV. I don't have a TV to test it, so I'm trying over an emulator.

The app works just fine on Android versions < 7 (Marshmallow, Lollipop). But when I open it in the emulator with Nougat on it, the app keeps crashing and I get an error that says: "Leanback Launcher keeps stopping".

I've read that I should put some things in Manifest, but I'm confused, why is it working on Android versions < 7?

This is my Manifest, so if you can take a quick look and advise me what to put inside to make it work?

    <activity

        android:theme="@style/MyCustomTheme" />
</application>

LauncherActivity is my default launcher, should I add:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />

inside its intent filter? Also, I assume I should add this permission also:

 <uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback"
    android:required="false" />

And this thing inside application tag:

android:banner="@drawable/banner"

Is there anything else or this is completely wrong?

This problem has been addressed in this google forum Why do Apps that stream live TV crash under Android 7.0 Nougat on Nexus 5x?. In summary, the app you're running haven't been updated/not-ready for Nougat - higher versions of Android. Other apps, which supported Nougat, seemed to work fine.
