[MitchExpensify]

Still needs reproduction, @kbecciv can you reproduce still?

Looking to see if this is a dupe turned up:

#15896

Both are related to password protected PDFs but not the same issue exactly.

So @MitchExpensify :

1. Did you reproduce?
2. Did you ask the other people involved if they are related?

[parasharrajat]

It might be related to specific devices as only Android is affected (as per the OP). Samsung devices always have strange bugs.

• Did we check other platforms?

[MitchExpensify]

@flodnv I cannot reproduce and I think its to do with using BrowserStack so thats why I asked if it was still reproducible here.

I didn't ask in those issues if they are related because it seemed to me like they were not.

[flodnv]

Why do you think it has to do with BrowserStack?

@kbecciv did you test on a real device? Can you reproduce on a device that is Android, but not Samsung?

[kbecciv]

Hello @flodnv! Yes, I can ask QA team to test with different devices, will update you shortly with results.

[MitchExpensify]

Why do you think it has to do with BrowserStack?

Uploading a password protected PDF via BrowserStack felt janky. So I figured it was safer to get someone with a physical device to double check reproduction.

Thanks for seeing if others can reproduce @kbecciv !

Issue is not reproductible on Redmi Note 9/Android 11

@flodnv @parasharrajat @MitchExpensify this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[MitchExpensify]

Ok given this seems to be specific to Samsung, and not reproducible on other Android devices I'm not sure what to do next. Looking for a bug zero buddy check on this one, curious for your thoughts @mallenexpensify 👁️

[parasharrajat]

https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-smartphone-share/ Given that Samsung is used by millions of people, we should solve this.

[flodnv]

I tend to agree, however it sounds like we can only reproduce on a physical samsung device...?

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[parasharrajat]

however it sounds like we can only reproduce on a physical samsung device...

Normally app is used on real devices.

What is the next step here @MitchExpensify?

[MitchExpensify]

I'll test again now trying to use the same device via browserstack..

[MitchExpensify]

@MitchExpensify Able to reproduced in SG21/13 using build 1.3.11.2 when opened first uploaded PDF file, please attached the video.

Browserstack doesn't have an option to use the same device @kbecciv used..

I'll try some other Samsungs that are available 👁️

[MitchExpensify]

I cannot reproduce on Galaxy S21 11, I am not sure what else to try at this point. Any thoughts on this @mallenexpensify ?

[flodnv]

@MitchExpensify can you bring this to Slack?

[MitchExpensify]

Yes!

[melvin-bot]

@flodnv @parasharrajat @MitchExpensify this issue is now 3 weeks old. There is one more week left before this issue breaks WAQ and will need to go internal. What needs to happen to get a PR in review this week? Please create a thread in #expensify-open-source to discuss. Thanks!

[parasharrajat]

@MitchExpensify can you please increase the price here? We haven't received any proposals yet.

Upwork job price has been updated to $2000

[flodnv]

@kbecciv do you have any other samsung device to test, ideally one of these #18151 (comment) ?

[kbecciv]

@flodnv Sorry, I don't have other Samsung device.

[flodnv]

@MitchExpensify I think a summary is in order

Basically, because no one can reproduce this, then we can't fix it.
