Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

User can open avatar edit modal when the app is loading. Remove photo option is shown even when the account has default avatar when the app is loading.

What is the root cause of that problem?

this is new feature

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We will disable this avatar while the app is loading in here

    disabled={isAvatarCropModalOpen || (disabled && !enablePreview) || isLoadingApp}

with

    const [isLoadingApp] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.IS_LOADING_APP);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

We can edit the avatar while the app is loading.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Before the account switcher PR, the avatar is only shown on the initial settings page and a skeleton will replace it if the app is "loading".

Now, we also show/move the editable avatar on the profile page.

App/src/pages/settings/Profile/ProfilePage.tsx

Lines 158 to 160 in e77f204

	<AvatarWithImagePicker
	isUsingDefaultAvatar={UserUtils.isDefaultAvatar(currentUserPersonalDetails?.avatar ?? '')}
	source={avatarURL}

But we never replace it with a skeleton when the app is loading.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can have the same skeleton condition from InitialSettingsPage and show the skeleton when satisfied.

{isEmptyObject(currentUserPersonalDetails) || currentUserPersonalDetails.displayName === undefined ? (
    <AvatarSkeleton size={CONST.AVATAR_SIZE.XLARGE} />
) : (
    <AvatarWithImagePicker .../>

We can use the existing AvatarSkeleton, but we need to make some adjustments to the component. Currently, the skeleton has a static size of 28.

App/src/components/AvatarSkeleton.tsx

Lines 9 to 22 in e77f204

	const skeletonCircleRadius = variables.sidebarAvatarSize / 2;
	return (
	<SkeletonViewContentLoader
	animate
	height={variables.sidebarAvatarSize}
	backgroundColor={theme.skeletonLHNIn}
	foregroundColor={theme.skeletonLHNOut}
	>
	<Circle
	cx={skeletonCircleRadius}
	cy={skeletonCircleRadius}
	r={skeletonCircleRadius}
	/>

1. Accept a size type props. (default to CONST.AVATAR_SIZE.SMALL)
2. Calculate the size using StyleUtils.getAvatarSize and use it on the radius and height

const StyleUtils = useStyleUtils();
const avatarSize = StyleUtils.getAvatarSize(size);
const skeletonCircleRadius = avatarSize / 2;

return (
    <SkeletonViewContentLoader
        animate
        height={avatarSize}

@dangrous this doesn't seem like a deploy blocker to me
