@kbecciv when you reproduced this, how did your online status show in the LHN? Can you test again and make note of that too?

[abecciv]

@michaelhaxhiu I'm still able to reproduce in the build 1.1.20-0, status are showing Offline (Grey) in the LHN.

Putting this issue on hold for now, as there's some internal discussions surrounding offline functionality for the app (internal slack convo here)

[Beamanator]

Not overdue, still on hold for internal offline discussions

[laurenreidexpensify]

@Beamanator we still chatting internally on this one?

[Beamanator]

Conversations went 🥶 - there's multiple offline issues that were being discussed here

[Beamanator]

I've been experiencing this in the Android app recently too, gunna bump the thread and see if we're working on offline issues yet

[laurenreidexpensify]

Any update @Beamanator ?

[Beamanator]

We're still waiting for someone to have the time & interest to pick up this project which would handle lots of the "offline mode" topics

[laurenreidexpensify]

Does it still need to be on hold though?

[Beamanator]

I would say hold is appropriate b/c we don't want proposals on this issue yet - I will also drop the priority to monthly for now

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (Second week)

[Beamanator]

Not overdue, if this goes 1 more week w/out being reproduced we'll close 👍
