Hey @marcaaron @rushatgabhane @jnowakow, I saw https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/61471/files and I'm wondering if you guys have any idea if it could be related to this issue?

Did removing one of the navigation events put us into this situation?

[jnowakow]

@jasperhuangg any of navigation events weren't removed it that PR. I don't think that PR is related to this issue
