Going to venture a guess that this is a front-end blocker, not a back-end blocker

This doesn't occur every time on my account, but I can reproduce on 9.0.41.1 and 9.0.41.0.Not 9.0.40.6. however

There are a lot of issues in the checklist. I'm working through them but in the meantime have asked for thoughts in Slack.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

White screen persists for some time after login

What is the root cause of that problem?

Come from PR.
We return null when the data is loading:

App/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/AuthScreens.tsx

Lines 401 to 402 in 8636074

    
           if (isLoadingOnyxValue(sessionStatus, lastOpenedPublicRoomIDStatus, initialLastUpdateIDAppliedToClientStatus)) { 
        
               return;

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should return <FullScreenLoadingIndicator /> instead. (Or another loading screen based on design)

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal updated

@truph01

Thanks @truph01. As this is a blocker I'm testing your proposal here.

@Julesssss

@Julesssss Reverting #49185 also fixes this issue

#49185

Yeah, in this case a simple fix might be preferable.

@Julesssss

@Julesssss Sorry, do I and @allgandalf have payment based on comment?

@JmillsExpensify

Triggered auto assignment to @JmillsExpensify (Bug), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/14418 for more details. Please add this bug to a GH project, as outlined in the SO.

@allgandalf

@allgandalf were you paid yet? I think probably not right?

@JmillsExpensify could you please pay out the following once this has been confirmed? Thanks

@truph01 $125 for locating blocker (50%)
@allgandalf $250 for review of revert PR

@allgandalf

Looks like @allgandalf needs to be paid out via Upwork for the review. I'm taking care of that in this issue.

Yeah, that is why i asked to close this issue 😄

@johncschuster

Oh right.

@johncschuster would you mind taking care of the other payment there too?

@truph01 $125 for locating blocker (50%)

@truph01

Ugh, I missed ^that comment to issue payment for locating the blocker. I am so sorry, @truph01! Let me get an Upwork job going for that and I'll issue payment right away.

@truph01

@truph01 can you accept this offer on Upwork when you get a moment?

@johncschuster

@johncschuster Accepted, thank you 🙇

@truph01

This has been paid! Thanks for flagging it, @truph01!
