Found this while we were retesting #6319 on Android (I don't think it's the culprit tho) this was definitely not reproducible when we started QA so we added the Deploy Blocker label.

@nickmurray47 @TomatoToaster after some discussion in this thread, it seems like you might have the best context for working on this. https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C03TQ48KC/p1637777522145000

I'm going to un-assign myself as I'm currently working on a daily, and I've got a doctor appt coming up soon that will take me OOO.

@kavimuru can we get tester email to look at logs and see if there's more information?

Also can we please re-test but on a fresh sign in and switch to staging server before starting the flow?

The video shown doesn't really reflect what a user would do so I want to make sure this is a real blocker and not a consequence of switching from the production server to staging server as shown. Users can't switch the secure endpoint like that unless they are one the staging version of the app.

@marcaaron I just checked and I'm unable to reproduce this same issue again 🤔

In the morning (when reporting this) 3 members of the applause team were able to reproduce consistently on 3 different Android devices (including mine). One of the emails we used was:

1. utester29+50@gmail.com

Maybe it was a temporary issue on plaid side (?)

[marcaaron]

Ok thanks! Sounds like we can remove the blocker then.
