I'm not being able to reproduce using my Mac:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c3e9b83d-6225-477d-9df0-87d292c40af8

From the video in the issue, it appears to be some performance issue. The flickering of the button is always there, including production, but it should be much faster than what we see in the video.

I'll try to reproduce in my phone.

I'll try to reproduce in my phone.

The button takes longer to appear in Android native using the staging app, but I guess that is somewhat expected since it is much slower than my mac/web. I'll try to test Android native using the production app to see if there is a difference between staging/production.

Sorry for confusion, This issue repro on IOS and not repro in Android

[aldo-expensify]

Can't reproduce in dev using the IOS emulator, the button appears instantly

I'll remove the DeployBlockerCash label since I can't reproduce and Jayesh wasn't able to reproduce either: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C02NK2DQWUX/p1731615988446309?thread_ts=1731615180.163839&cid=C02NK2DQWUX

Maybe the device used was very slow (old?)?
