App Freezes when open with no Internet

[theblockstalk]

Steps to replicate the issue

1. create or login to an account
2. close app and remove the memory
3. Turn off Internet ( I blocked it using my VPN)
4. open app

What do you expect to happen?

1. I am on my user home screen, logged in

What actually happens

1. App crashes and then freezes on the splash screen

Also, why does it always freeze when we go to the splash screen? can we get it so that it Elisa can recover and take user back to the home screen?

Your environment

• Operating system: Android 11
• Samsung Galaxy A50
• Pangea Testnet v0.109.5

also getting freeze issues when I create account (after hCaptcha) when internet is not great.

approaches

1. monitor net connection and handle (blanket the error)
2. when we redirect user to splash screen, instead redirect them to the more appropriate screen. e.g. when they logout send them straight to the UserHome screen
3. handle the connection error directly (don't use NetInfo)
4. add new state that skips initialization except for when the user first opens the app

[theblockstalk]

1. the initialize() should only be called when user opens the app for first time - not any other time
   • flags to check when to call it (approach 4)
   • check that when it is not called it keeps working (maybe need approach 2?)
2. when initialize() is called. use error handling to check if network error (not NetInfo object). if there is an network connection issue:
   • ideal case: keep the user in their current state, and try initialize every 10s or so in the background. once initialization works change their state as normal (approach 3)
