Deployer verifications:

  • I checked Sentry for this release version and verified that this release does not introduce any new crashes. More detailed instructions on this verification can be found here.
  • I checked Sentry for the previous release version and verified that the release did not introduce any new crashes. Because mobile deploys use a phased rollout, completing this checklist will deploy the previous release version to 100% of users. More detailed instructions on this verification can be found here.
  • I checked GitHub Status and verified there is no reported incident with Actions.

    Checked off #101657 since it adds an optional backend flag to the existing Plaid check and doesn't cause a regression
