PR Author Checklist

• I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • MacOS: Desktop
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
  • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
  • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
• I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• If any new file was added I verified that:
  • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
• If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
• I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Since the transfer owner does not appear in android and ios native, so I cannot record video in these two platform

[jayeshmangwani]

Since the transfer owner does not appear in android and ios native

Yeah, I'm also unable to test on native. I'll see if there's anything we can do to make it work.

[jayeshmangwani]

I’m seeing a bug on mWeb Safari—let me know if you think we can do anything to solve it.

Steps:

1. Press the Transfer Owner button.
2. On the Transfer Owner page, press Continue.
3. The Outstanding Balance page appears—press the Transfer Balance button.
4. I land on the Problem page. On this page, I swipe left to go back. For a moment, I see an empty Transfer Owner page before being navigated to the User Details page.

@jayeshmangwani For the bug mWeb Safari, i'm investigating but haven't found solution. Will get back to you asap

[jayeshmangwani]

Thanks for the update! Let me know if you need any help with anything.

[thelullabyy]

@jayeshmangwani I tested the behavior with the left swipe action and noticed that the same issue occurs in other flows as well. This suggests a global issue with the sync between the screen stack and the URL history.

In the video below, after creating a new task, swiping left briefly reveals the previous report screen with the composer menu popover appearing for a moment:

Screen.Recording.2025-03-11.at.15.39.59.mov

In the below video, after creating a new workspace, swiping left briefly reveals the new workspace form:

Screen.Recording.2025-03-11.at.15.46.15.mov

Based on the testing results, I believe we should create a separate issue to address this general bug, as it is an existing issue that occurs in multiple flows.

[jayeshmangwani]

Changes look good, but I'm unable to test them on native devices since the Transfer owner button isn’t visible when a fundList data is empty. I tried adding a fundList using the Onyx set, but the next page keeps crashing, preventing me from testing. However, it works well on other platforms.

[jayeshmangwani]

LGTM 🚀

[jayeshmangwani]

@danieldoglas I wasn't able to test on native devices yet. Please check this comment.

[danieldoglas]

@jayeshmangwani I think that the transition is not super smooth. It looks like it goes forward and then it does a back animation to show the success page. Is it possible to fix that here?

[jayeshmangwani]

Hey @thelullabyy, could you please check this comment? When we show the success page from the Transfer Owner flow, the back navigation appears briefly before the success animation. Can we fix this in the PR?

[thelullabyy]

I think that the transition is not super smooth. It looks like it goes forward and then it does a back animation to show the success page. Is it possible to fix that here?

@danieldoglas @jayeshmangwani Could you clarify this bug a bit more? It would help to describe the test steps and point out exactly where the issue happens so I can reproduce and debug it more effectively.

By the way, is the bug you’re referring to at the 9th second of the video below, where the screen with the button (without text) briefly appears?

Screen.Recording.2025-03-17.at.16.53.45.mov

Here’s a screenshot of that moment (9th second):

[jayeshmangwani]

is the bug you’re referring to at the 9th second of the video below, where the screen with the button (without text) briefly appears?

Yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. It looks like the back navigation is happening before the success page is displayed.

[thelullabyy]

@jayeshmangwani Root cause here is we use navigate in useEffect and while the navigate command has not been executed, the WorkspaceOwnerChangeWrapperPage screen is still displayed. Currently the main is also having the same problem so I think it is not within the scope of this issue and should create a new issue to handle this.

[danieldoglas]

Ok, I agree this might be a separate scope.

[jayeshmangwani]

Should we go ahead with the merge for @danieldoglas ?
