Can't reproduce this anywhere. Not with this account. Asking to see if anyone else can.

[Julesssss]

Unable to reproduce on Android 1.2.18-2. We should keep it open, but can probably remove the blocker

[sketchydroide]

No one was able to reproduce, it might have been a connection issue, removing blocker, but lieaving it open to see if it happens again

I was able to reproduce this when I connected the android emulator to staging, I realized that after selecting a pronoun and setting checking the use default timezone checkbox, everything was working fine. This bug is related to a PR that worked on profile details. I'll investigate more

PS: I hadn't pulled the latest version of main, so I guess this bug has been here for sometime.

Trying to reproduce on prod now

[Justicea83]

I couldn't reproduce this on my account after using the same profile settings as applausetester+0901abb@applause.expensifail.com

[Justicea83]

Investigating further I realized the timezone.automatic which is boolean, is sometimes of type string, which causes this behaviour.

Adding the external label.

I was able to reproduce this ONLY on applausetester+0901abb@applause.expensifail.com

After further investigations, I realized this maybe as a result of the PHP 8.1 Upgrade, testing again with the prod api
