PR Author Checklist

• [ ] I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• [ ] I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • [ ] I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • [ ] I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • [ ] I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • [ ] I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • [ ] I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • [ ] I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
• [ ] I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• [ ] I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • [ ] Android: Native
  • [ ] Android: mWeb Chrome
  • [ ] iOS: Native
  • [ ] iOS: mWeb Safari
  • [ ] MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • [ ] MacOS: Desktop
• [ ] I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• [ ] I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • [ ] I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
  • [ ] I verified that the left part of a conditional rendering a React component is a boolean and NOT a string, e.g. myBool && <MyComponent />.
  • [ ] I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • [ ] I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • [ ] I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • [ ] If any non-english text was added/modified, I verified the translation was requested/reviewed in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • [ ] I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • [ ] I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is approved by marketing by adding the Waiting for Copy label for a copy review on the original GH to get the correct copy.
  • [ ] I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
  • [ ] I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
• [ ] If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• [ ] I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• [ ] I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• [ ] I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
• [ ] I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• [ ] I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• [ ] If any new file was added I verified that:
  • [ ] The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• [ ] If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • [ ] A similar style doesn't already exist
  • [ ] The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• [ ] If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• [ ] If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• [ ] If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• [ ] If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• [ ] If the PR modifies the form input styles:
  • [ ] I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • [ ] I added Design label so the design team can review the changes.
• [ ] If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
• [ ] If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Reviewing now

[abdulrahuman5196]

The status is cleared properly.

The status time is shown wrongly in toolTip(observing the same is staging). Do let us know if this is something related to this PR or different issue as well?

I think this is a different issue since i was able to reproduce it already on the latest main. try to change the selected timezone of the user to a diff timezone then change the status clear at and send a message to any user then hover on the profile report action tooltip.

let me know what you think as well

@abzokhattab Last time the status was cleared https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/35976#issuecomment-1959446722. But while testing today the status is not getting cleared. Could you kindly check on this?

[abdulrahuman5196]

@abzokhattab Any update on the above?

[abzokhattab]

Thanks abdelrahman for the ping, i will check it today

[abzokhattab]

@abdulrahuman5196 It's the opposite on my case, the status is cleared before the time specified

here I set the clear at to 8 pm in Cairo which is sent correctly as 6pm in the UTC timezone, however after a minute, the status is cleared

https://github.com/Expensify/App/assets/59809993/04382aeb-b0ab-47da-8e74-766505d0b52b

i guess there is an issue with the backend pusher that clears the status, maybe it doesn't parse the date as UTC

what do you think @abdulrahuman5196 ?

[stitesExpensify]

@abdulrahuman5196 @abzokhattab are you able to reproduce the issue anymore? While using production I am able to set my status, and it is clearing at the proper time.

@stitesExpensify just now tested in staging, doesn't seem to be working for me.

[abdulrahuman5196]

I doubt. @stitesExpensify It would be good to know from backend, even sending the date as UTC is failing? Any help from backend investigation would be helpful here.

[stitesExpensify]

I will investigate on the backend ASAP

[stitesExpensify]

So that I don't forget when that happens, my guess is that the job run time is being set incorrectly

[abzokhattab]

@stitesExpensify I think so, can you please check that? in my case i checked the time sent to the backend from the request and it seems to be sent correctly as UTC so lets see what is going on in the backend.

[abdulrahuman5196]

I will investigate on the backend ASAP

Hi, @stitesExpensify Where you able to check on this?

[stitesExpensify]

No, I was not. Unfortunately this project is a low priority at the moment. I will try to get to it as soon as I can
