I reproduced this issue once where all devices/emulators had different versions (Some old and some new), But on latest, I can't produce.
Can you please check on the latest build on all devices/emulators?

[churik]

It was reproduced for me on nightly 25/08/23.

What version do you mean?

[churik]

It is reproduced on PR builds #17091, which contain latest version of status-go.

[ibrkhalil]

if you are sure that User 2 is on the latest version.
Okay, Will investigate more

[ibrkhalil]

Hey @churik, I couldn't reproduce it on the latest version.

Hey @churik, I couldn't reproduce it on the latest version.

Hi @ibrkhalil! The issue is still still reproducible.

I have updated prerequisites. Non admin User 2 who shares the community should be a community member. Try the following steps.

Expected behavior

Can see the community invite

Actual behavior

The unread badge is shown, but there is no invite to community in 1-1 chat

Reproduction

Prerequisites:

• User1, User2 and User3 are contacts
• User1 creates any community and shares it with User2
• User 2 joins the community

Steps:

1. User2: community > options > Share community to User3
2. User3: see unread indicator > open chat with User2

@pavloburykh, I just followed the exact steps to reproduce this issue, but it all works for me on status-mobile develop (commit 86c5505). Once you find the time, could you try to reproduce the bug again? Just because your last comment is from ~3 months ago, and many changes were merged into status-go, so maybe this issue can be closed already.

@ibrkhalil, were you able to reproduce the bug? If so, have you done anything different from the reproduction steps shared by @pavloburykh here #17116 (comment)?

Yup, I reproduced it
Reproducing it is flaky

Hey @ilmotta! I am still reproducing the issue. I have tried in release and latest nightly builds. Below is the video recorded on release builds.

In my case reproducing is not falky, easily reproducing the issue on every try using steps from this comment #17116 (comment)

@ilmotta is community created on Desktop?

I am sorry, I thought this was the admin offline one 🤦‍♂️
But yeah, I am going to fix this one too

[ilmotta]

is community created on Desktop?

Yes @pavloburykh, same steps you outlined. I never create communities on mobile. But since @ibrkhalil mentioned flakiness, I was probably just lucky and thought the issue was already fixed.

Since the last comment you guys shared here were at the end of September and I was lucky to not hit the bug, I thought we could close the issue. Thanks for re-testing @pavloburykh.

But yeah, I am going to fix this one too

Cool @ibrkhalil, thanks!
