📣 @devalirzayev! 📣 Hey, it seems we don’t have your contributor details yet! You'll only have to do this once, and this is how we'll hire you on Upwork. Please follow these steps:

1. Make sure you've read and understood the contributing guidelines.
2. Get the email address used to login to your Expensify account. If you don't already have an Expensify account, create one here. If you have multiple accounts (e.g. one for testing), please use your main account email.
3. Get the link to your Upwork profile. It's necessary because we only pay via Upwork. You can access it by logging in, and then clicking on your name. It'll look like this. If you don't already have an account, sign up for one here.
4. Copy the format below and paste it in a comment on this issue. Replace the placeholder text with your actual details. Format:

   Contributor details
   Your Expensify account email: <REPLACE EMAIL HERE>
   Upwork Profile Link: <REPLACE LINK HERE>

@suneox This needs internal reviewing.

Please see screenshot. Selected report (which is group chat) has avatarUrl and returns when opened (OpenReport endpoint) but in OpenApp endpoint it does not.

[suneox]

I'll check it today

@suneox as I have stated this is backend bug. Needs internal reviewing.

@devalirzayev Thank for your investigate. I have double-checked, and I agree with you that is a BE issue. When first login OpenApp return avatarUrl is empty.

I'm not able to reproduce this on dev or prod - has anyone been able to? assets/4072be9f-0561-4ef2-bf57-a242fe2c164e)

[yuwenmemon]

In fact, I see the avatarUrl for the Group in the OpenApp response when retesting this:

So I'm going to call this fixed and close it out.
