Checking this one now...

[marcaaron]

Open New Expensify app
Disable the internet connection in the device
Navigate to any conversation and upload an attachment
Reload the app(CMD+R)

How does this work exactly if the network is disabled for Web?

[marcaaron]

I can't repro on main web. Checking desktop.

[marcaaron]

Unchecked the web platforms because refreshing the page while you are offline isn't really supported.

Can't repro on Desktop. I think this should not be a deploy blocker so gonna check it off in any case. Unclear whether it is actually an issue that needs to be fixed so sending to BZ instead of blocking deploy.

I have a feeling that this was caused by #30425 which was reverted and CPed

[luacmartins]

I think we can close this issue.
