@JmillsExpensify Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

Hey! At the moment I am investigating this issue, and I was able to reproduce this issue also on the NewDot app:

RPReplay_Final1725437954.MP4

It seems that the workaround would be to timeout the value returned by useColorScheme, because the problem is known, and still exists. There is a chance that the problem will disappear when we enable bridgelessMode, but at the moment I think the timeout would be the best solution.

[JmillsExpensify]

Nice, did you want to take this issue or are we going to assign to someone internal?

[war-in]

Hi @JmillsExpensify 👋 I took this issue over from @staszekscp and I'm going to create a PR in a moment 🤞

[staszekscp]

Sorry @JmillsExpensify for missing your question yesterday! I was on the way to the React Universe Conference, but since I didn’t want to leave the issue unfinished I asked @war-in to build and test the fix! 😀 The PR is ready, so I think we’re good to go!

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @JmillsExpensify, @AndrewGable eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

This was fixed last month
