@robertjchen @mountiny @nkdengineer was this a regression?

@kadiealexander It's not a regression from my PR, I fixed the blocker.

[ikevin127]

❌ I'm not able to reproduce in v9.1.7-1 Develop:

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.16.Pro.Max.-.2025-02-28.at.07.03.38.mp4

Looks like in OP app version was older and create expense tab navigation looked different, possible it was rolled-back after multiple regressions ? @kadiealexander Not sure what's next for thiss issue - maybe ask QA for retest on latest app version and close if not reproducible.

[nkdengineer]

@ikevin127 This issue is fixed. Just waiting for payment.

[mountiny]

@kadiealexander not a regression from @nkdengineer PR

[robertjchen]

@kadiealexander are we good to go here? 🙏

[kadiealexander]
