I'm having a hard time running the app in an Android virtual device at the moment, going to open externally to see if anyone can figure it out.

I'm now able to build the app locally in dev, but running into issues getting system notifications to show up at all.

One interesting thing I noticed with the app on my physical device is that I randomly opened it (manually, without tapping a notification), and the top padding was also missing until I killed and reopened the app.

I can't reproduce anymore after closing and reopening the app multiple times though, so I feel like there might be other conditions for this to happen.

[francoisl]

Going to demote as discussed in https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1724857609487429, since we can't consistently reproduce.

@francoisl could you tell if this happened on dev or only on release? I was not able to reproduce it on dev.

[francoisl]

On my physical device? It was a staging release version, at the time 9.0.25-1 (the latest staging version was greater than that, but I guess my phone had not auto-updated the app yet)

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[jayeshmangwani]

Not Overdue, We're still awaiting proposals here

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

Payment summary:

• $250 - @jayeshmangwani - C+ - to be paid via NewDot

[wildan-m]

I am an oracle #48190 (comment)

@puneetlath why this is closed and paid? where is the upstream PR?

The merged PR is essentially the same with my proposed solution. How compensation works in this case?

discussing in slack if no satisfactory answer within 24 hours.

[shubham1206agra]

@wildan-m No compensation for you as no help wanted label was applied before PR was deployed.

[wildan-m]

@shubham1206agra every issues has help wanted tag removed after assignemnt. Please check carefully, I've send the proposal after help wanted tag added.

[shubham1206agra]

Ouch. Didn't noticed this.

@jayeshmangwani Can you check if @wildan-m is eligible for partial payment? Similar to other cases, payout will be $50.

[wildan-m]

@shubham1206agra can you send me the links to similar cases? where that 1/5 partial payment come from?

[jayeshmangwani]

discussing in slack if no satisfactory answer within 24 hours.

You can start a discussion if you'd like to.

[jayeshmangwani]

The merged PR is essentially the same with my proposed solution. How compensation works in this case?

Yes, the merged PR uses the same logic as your proposal. Regarding the compensation, I'm not sure if it will be a partial or full payout, so I'll leave that decision to @francoisl and @puneetlath.

[puneetlath]

Oh good point about the upstream PR, I forgot about that. @perunt that still needs to be done, correct?

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[puneetlath]

@perunt just checking in. Mind providing an update here?

[jayeshmangwani]

Hey @perunt , do we have any plans for an upstream fix? Can you please provide an update here?

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[jayeshmangwani]

Waiting on an update from Taras. bumped on Slack

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt 8 days overdue is a lot. Should this be a Weekly issue? If so, feel free to change it!

[melvin-bot]

@puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt 12 days overdue. Walking. Toward. The. Light...

[melvin-bot]

This issue has not been updated in over 14 days. @puneetlath, @francoisl, @jayeshmangwani, @perunt eroding to Weekly issue.

[puneetlath]

Bumped in Slack again.
