I think this might be related to this online/offline issue #12775

@stitesExpensify could you give a buddy check?

[stitesExpensify]

Hmm it's definitely very similar, but I think it's different than that issue because this isn't showing a "replay", this is the app actually crashing

[stitesExpensify]

I am not able to reproduce this. Additionally, I'm seeing a different UI than in the video. In mine, when we delete a workspace offline, it gets crossed out in the list which I don't see in the OP. I think this was fixed by an API refactor.

@kbecciv can you confirm this is still reproducible for you?

[stitesExpensify]

Still trying to repro this

[Christinadobrzyn]

I can't reproduce this but I don't really understand the steps and also, I'm not sure what this is solving - would this happen in the 'real world' or does this relate to something else?

[stitesExpensify]

would this happen in the 'real world'

Yep! Every action should be able to be performed offline without any problems when coming back online to give a more fluid user experience. The problem isn't really as much that a user is fully offline, but what if their cell service is spotty and they try to delete a workspace, and then their app suddenly crashes? To the user it would seem like our app is just broken!

Sorry if that was over-explained, I just wanted to give an overview of why the "offline first" mentality applies here :)

[stitesExpensify]

That being said, i'm going to close this since neither of us can reproduce it

@stitesExpensify Checking again with current build.
