Proposal

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

Address - 'Hmm it's not here' page shows up when selecting a country

What is the root cause of that problem?

After select country we backTo using route.params.backTo

App/src/pages/settings/Profile/PersonalDetails/CountrySelectionPage.js

Line 70 in 6031f3e

Navigation.navigate(`${route.params.backTo}?country=${option.value}`);

the issue here is the URL is not correct, so the route.params.backTo is return undifined
the url has 2 "?" ?country=US?backTo=
http://localhost:8082/settings/profile/personal-details/address/country?country=US?backTo=%2Fsettings%2Fprofile%2Fpersonal-details%2Faddress

this because getBackToParam is start with "?" regardless the main URL has "?" or not

App/src/ROUTES.ts

Lines 14 to 16 in 6031f3e

	function getBackToParam(backTo?: string): string {
	return backTo ? `?backTo=${encodeURIComponent(backTo)}` : '';
	}

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

We need to change getBackToParam to start with "?" if is first params and else start with "&".

function getBackToParam(backTo?: string, isFirstParam: boolean = true): string {
    return backTo ? `${isFirstParam ? "?" : "&"}backTo=${encodeURIComponent(backTo)}` : '';
}

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

or replace getBackToParam with new method getUrlWithBackToParam

function getUrlWithBackToParam(url: string, backTo?: string): string {
    const backToParam = backTo ? `${url.includes("?") ? "&" : "?"}backTo=${encodeURIComponent(backTo)}` : '';
    return url + backToParam;
}

// use it like this
// getRoute: (accountID: string | number, backTo?: string) => `a/${accountID}${getBackToParam(backTo)}`
getRoute: (accountID: string | number, backTo?: string) => getUrlWithBackToParam(`a/${accountID}`)
