Proposal

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

User can open avatar edit modal when the app is loading. Remove photo option is shown even when the account has default avatar when the app is loading.

What is the root cause of that problem?

this is new feature

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

We will disable this avatar while the app is loading in here

    disabled={isAvatarCropModalOpen || (disabled && !enablePreview) || isLoadingApp}

with

    const [isLoadingApp] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.IS_LOADING_APP);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

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

We can edit the avatar while the app is loading.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Before the account switcher PR, the avatar is only shown on the initial settings page and a skeleton will replace it if the app is "loading".

Now, we also show/move the editable avatar on the profile page. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/e77f20458ad13d94c7b0188acc2ed1a91bd8ccbd/src/pages/settings/Profile/ProfilePage.tsx#L158-L160

But we never replace it with a skeleton when the app is loading.

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

We can have the same skeleton condition from InitialSettingsPage and show the skeleton when satisfied.

{isEmptyObject(currentUserPersonalDetails) || currentUserPersonalDetails.displayName === undefined ? (
    <AvatarSkeleton size={CONST.AVATAR_SIZE.XLARGE} />
) : (
    <AvatarWithImagePicker .../>

We can use the existing AvatarSkeleton, but we need to make some adjustments to the component. Currently, the skeleton has a static size of 28. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/e77f20458ad13d94c7b0188acc2ed1a91bd8ccbd/src/components/AvatarSkeleton.tsx#L9-L22

1. Accept a size type props. (default to CONST.AVATAR_SIZE.SMALL)
2. Calculate the size using StyleUtils.getAvatarSize and use it on the radius and height

   
   const StyleUtils = useStyleUtils();
   const avatarSize = StyleUtils.getAvatarSize(size);
   const skeletonCircleRadius = avatarSize / 2;

return ( <SkeletonViewContentLoader animate height={avatarSize}

@dangrous this doesn't seem like a deploy blocker to me

[dangrous]

Yeah I don't think this needs to block, not a regression just a minor issue with a new feature. But yeah, let's get this fixed soonish!

[adelekennedy]

@rushatgabhane @dangrous how are we doing with this one? I see it's been grouped up with other issues here should we drop the priority of this one?
