This is not a blocker, its because we turned of the edge to edge mode to fix the status overlapping issue.

cc @WoLewicki @staszekscp would anyone from SWM want to work on enabling the edge to edge again? then I could assign them to the follow ups

[IuliiaHerets]

Our prod build from Play market is on 83-5, not repro on it. So I mark an issue as deploy

Does this issue have very high priority? I think we could start working on it tomorrow.

Also, we're working on migration Android app from ReactNativeActivity to fragments. On our branch edge 2 edge works pretty well. The catch here is that PR is not ready yet. We still need to adjust a few things and then test it thoroughly since the change is quite complex and fundamentally changes how we handle instance of NewDot on HybridApp. But if priority is not high we could wait with edge 2 edge until Fragments are ready. cc: @mountiny

I think if you can focus on the fragment tPR to have it ready this week or early next week, then it's fine.

[twisterdotcom]

Should we assign @mateuuszzzzz now?

[twisterdotcom]

How's it going @mateuuszzzzz?

[mateuuszzzzz]

Hi @twisterdotcom, we changed PRs status to ready for a review. Those are complex PRs so QA process should be done before merging it to main

NewDot: #55010

[mountiny]

QA is going to run tests on the test build

[mateuuszzzzz]

Hi, we fixed 2 issues found during QA so I presume that we will be able to merge PR soon. It depends on the next round of QA, which should hopefully be a formality at this point 😅

@twisterdotcom @srikarparsi @mateuuszzzzz this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[mateuuszzzzz]

Hopefully, we will merge those PRs today. We passed QA last week and PRs are ready for a merge

[mountiny]

It was merged and deployed to staging
