Checking #17309 and #16952, there are no QA steps needed.

@francoisl Regression is almost completed

PR #16941 is failing #17354. Repro in PROD. Checking off
PR #16869 we are facing a spinner when opening the app after popup, but actual PR steps seem pass. Can you validate as well?
PR #17250 is failing #17333. Not repro in prod, but it's a new feature, so didn't have Blocker label

I'm experiencing the same thing, but I can also reproduce the issue with the production desktop app, so I don't think it's a regression from this PR. I'll check this off, but can you please still open a regular issue to get this looked into?

[francoisl]

Retested #17250 and confirmed it works on Android & iOS. I think it might have not worked initially if you tested before we cherry-picked 1.2.99-6. Either way, we're all set here!
