~This pull request just made it to staging and modified some sign-in logic. Not sure yet if it's the culprit but sounds like a possibility. cc @NikkiWines @MonilBhavsar if you're around and have an idea.~

[francoisl]

I reverted 28372 on dev and can still reproduce the issue, so I don't think it's that.

[thienlnam]

:hmm: If it's not that, it probably is related to some subscriber on the login page that is no longer prompting a refresh. I am looking at changes on that page but not seeing anything obvious

[alitoshmatov]

This issue is originating from this line: https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/0a3ce767f12802d184c434efe2790dea5188af1a/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/AuthScreens.js#L370-L372 If we remove retrieving demoInfo the issue won't happen. But I couldn't find why this is happening, I thought it was because we are accessing onyx data which is not present, but changing key here to any random string did not produce this issue. So the issue is only happening for demoInfo

Hope it helps

[francoisl]

Yeah thanks. Just finished a git bisect and found that the issue comes from this PR, specifically this commit, which matches what you found.

cc @Beamanator

[francoisl]

@s77rt do you have any idea off the top of your head? This appears to be coming from https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/29288.

[s77rt]

Hmm, we used same patterns for similar temporary flows. Could it be related to this https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/29288/files#r1358416934? Can you try use Navigation.isNavigationReady promise and see if that fixes it?

cc @alitoshmatov if you are available to test

[alitoshmatov]

Doing this didn't work

cc: @s77rt

[francoisl]

I feel like it's some sort of race condition with updating a key in Onyx? Commenting this line out solves the issue.

[alitoshmatov]

Removing that line looks reasonable and is not effecting expected behavior, and it tests well.

[francoisl]

Alternatively changing it to Onyx.set(ONYXKEYS.DEMO_INFO, {}); seems to work, but I can't 100% confirm at the moment as my dev environment is in a weird half-broken state. Might be better than removing the line entirely, if we can confirm it works.

[alitoshmatov]

It is working. https://github.com/Expensify/App/assets/59907218/069cc554-c963-4b43-9ba5-5985735f863c

[francoisl]

Nice. @thienlnam let's roll with that?

[francoisl]

I fixed my dev environment, sending a PR shortly.
