Thanks for pointing this out. This part was my experience and as you said, it was quite frustrating. Overall the RN experience made me more skeptical about thing I usually take for granted.

It really shows how hard it is for RN to work cross platform. Each abstraction layer can bring in some new problems.

You were the one who had to find this bug? That's pretty neat!

How long did it take for the Aha! moment?

IIRC the whole debugging took half a day. There wasn't exactly an Aha moment either. Enough trying different accounts/platforms/devices/environments made me realize that debugger might have changed the result. Once it was confirmed I actually felt defeated. Hard to feel good when you are hit by observer effect and at the same time realize that the a native JS API could be problematic.
