Fix: Normalize /Home URL to root in linking config to prevent NOT_FOUND on HybridApp by MelvinBot · Pull Request #92035 · Expensify/App

MelvinBot · 2026-05-29T03:57:21Z

Explanation of Change

On HybridApp, when an OldDot session transitions to NewDot (e.g. tapping "Try New Expensify"), the OldDot native bridge can hand NewDot the URL /Home (capital H) via the Linking.getInitialURL() override at src/setup/hybridApp/index.native.ts:9. NewDot has no linking-config entry for /Home:

SCREENS.HOME = 'Home' (capital)
ROUTES.HOME = 'home' (lowercase)
PublicScreens.tsx registers <RootStack.Screen name={SCREENS.HOME}> without a path mapping, so React Navigation derives a literal /Home URL from the screen name
The authenticated TAB_NAVIGATOR maps [SCREENS.HOME]: { path: ROUTES.HOME } → /home

React Navigation's path matcher is case-sensitive, so /Home does not match /home and falls through the '*' wildcard at linkingConfig/config.ts:36 → SCREENS.NOT_FOUND, rendering the "Hmm... it's not here" page.

The team has already patched this for one consumer at src/libs/actions/Link.ts:274-278 (rewrites /Home to '' inside openReportFromDeepLink), but that guard does not influence NavigationContainer's cold-start state derivation. For public-domain (gmail) users, NavigationRoot.tsx returns undefined early, leaving React Navigation to call linking.getStateFromPath('/Home') directly — which hits the NOT_FOUND wildcard.

Fix: Wrap getStateFromPath in src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/index.ts to normalize /Home (or Home) to '' before delegating to getAdaptedStateFromPath. This mirrors the existing Link.ts guard one layer earlier so the cold-start path matches the root instead of the wildcard. The change is contained to one file, does not alter any registered routes/screens, and is also defensive for any other entry point that hits /Home (web deep links, other HybridApp paths).

@MelvinBot Could you give me End-to-End Flow from: "Try New Expensify" → Not Found Screen before and after the fix

MelvinBot · 2026-05-29T04:05:25Z

End-to-End Flow: "Try New Expensify" → Not Found

Before the fix (broken)

User taps Try New Expensify in OldDot.
OldDot initiates the HybridApp transition and hands NewDot the initial URL /Home (capital H).
NewDot boots. The custom override at src/setup/hybridApp/index.native.ts:9 makes Linking.getInitialURL() return that OldDot-provided /Home.
NavigationRoot.tsx:120-159 computes initialState. For unauthenticated / public-domain users it short-circuits to return undefined at line 130-132, so React Navigation derives state from the URL itself.
React Navigation calls linking.getStateFromPath('/Home'), which is bound directly to getAdaptedStateFromPath in linkingConfig/index.ts (pre-fix).
Path matching is case-sensitive. SCREENS.HOME is 'Home' (SCREENS.ts:8) but ROUTES.HOME is 'home' (ROUTES.ts:790). The public SCREENS.HOME entry has no path mapping, and the authenticated TAB_NAVIGATOR maps to lowercase /home, so /Home matches nothing.
Path falls through to the wildcard at linkingConfig/config.ts:36: [SCREENS.NOT_FOUND]: '*'.
NOT_FOUND screen renders → "Hmm... it's not here".

Note: the existing /Home → '' rewrite at Link.ts:274-278 lives inside openReportFromDeepLink. It only runs after sign-in flows go through that code path; it never sees NavigationContainer's cold-start state derivation, which is why this bug still surfaces.

After the fix

1-4. Same as above — NewDot still receives /Home from OldDot and NavigationRoot still returns undefined for public-domain users.
5. React Navigation calls linking.getStateFromPath('/Home'), but getStateFromPath is now the wrapper added in linkingConfig/index.ts (post-fix).
6. Wrapper normalizes: path === '/Home' || path === 'Home' → replaces with '', then delegates to getAdaptedStateFromPath('').
7. Empty path resolves to the root state — the public SignInPage (or appropriate authenticated root) — instead of the '*' wildcard.
8. SignInPage renders normally, the "Try New Expensify" handoff completes, and NOT_FOUND is bypassed.

Diff summary

Only src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/index.ts is touched: a thin wrapper around getAdaptedStateFromPath that maps /Home and Home to '' before delegating. No routes, screens, or navigators are changed, and the fix is defensive for any other entry point (web deep link, other HybridApp paths) that might also hand off a literal /Home.

@MelvinBot I test your code change but it doesn't work

MelvinBot · 2026-05-29T04:27:02Z

Thanks for testing, truph01 — I want to make sure I'm reproducing what you saw. A few questions, and then a hypothesis for why the wrap may still fall short.

Could you share:

Platform / build — iOS native, Android native, or both? And was this against a HybridApp build, or standalone NewDot?
Exact repro steps you ran — specifically, were you signed in with a Gmail (public-domain) account per the issue's precondition?
What you observed — still the "Hmm... it's not here" NOT_FOUND screen, or a different broken state (e.g. white screen, stuck splash, wrong tab)?
If possible, a JS console log or a quick video of the failing flow.

Suspected gap with the current wrapper

The wrap rewrites /Home → '', but '' may still resolve to NOT_FOUND because of how the matcher works:

In getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts:408, empty path is prepended with /, so '' → '/'.
That gets handed to the local getStateFromPath at getStateFromPath.ts:20, which calls RNGetStateFromPath('/', linkingConfig.config).
The linking config doesn't register a top-level path for SCREENS.HOME (PublicScreens.tsx:28 sets the name only; no path is added). Top-level matches are VALIDATE_LOGIN, UNLINK_LOGIN, …, and finally [SCREENS.NOT_FOUND]: '*' at config.ts:36. HOME only appears nested under TAB_NAVIGATOR at ROUTES.HOME ('/home').
So '/' likely also falls through the '*' wildcard → still NOT_FOUND. Same outcome as /Home.

Candidate fix worth trying: rewrite to the lowercase ROUTES.HOME instead of '', so it lands on the authenticated tab's home (the user is logged in by step 2 of the repro):

const normalizedPath = path === `/${SCREENS.HOME}` || path === SCREENS.HOME ? `/${ROUTES.HOME}` : path;

For the public-domain flow we're targeting the user is authenticated to OldDot before tapping "Try New Expensify", so TAB_NAVIGATOR exists and /home resolves cleanly.

Once you confirm platform + observed screen, I can verify the candidate fix above and update the PR.

truph01 · 2026-05-29T04:44:38Z

@MelvinBot FYI, I try to normalize the path in getAdaptedStateFromPath directly and it works well.

MelvinBot · 2026-05-29T04:48:22Z

Good call — that's the cleaner home for it. Moving the check into getAdaptedStateFromPath keeps all path normalization in one place (right next to the existing /signin → / rewrite) and also covers other callers like NavigationRoot.tsx:150, which calls getAdaptedStateFromPath(lastVisitedPath) directly — the previous wrapper around linkingConfig.getStateFromPath would have missed that path.

Pushed in 3315bb7:

Reverted linkingConfig/index.ts back to using getAdaptedStateFromPath directly (no wrapper).
Added /Home → / normalization inside getAdaptedStateFromPath, right after the existing CONST.SIGNIN_ROUTE rewrite.

Note: the leading-slash normalization at line 408 runs first, so the bare Home case is also covered — the function only needs to check /Home.

@MelvinBot Write a more general comment, not just in transition from OD to ND

@MelvinBot Consider update comment to:

// PublicScreens registers SCREENS.HOME ('Home') without a path mapping, so React Navigation derives `/Home` as the URL. // The authenticated config maps SCREENS.HOME to lowercase 'home', and the case-sensitive mismatch falls to NOT_FOUND.

also, add unit tests

MelvinBot · 2026-05-29T04:54:25Z

End-to-End Flow: `/Home` URL → "Not Found" (general)

The bug isn't specific to the OldDot→NewDot handoff. Any entry point that hands React Navigation the literal path /Home (or Home) at cold start will land on NOT_FOUND, because nothing in the linking config matches it. The transition is just the most visible trigger.

Why `/Home` even exists as a URL

SCREENS.HOME = 'Home' (SCREENS.ts:8) — capital H.
ROUTES.HOME = 'home' (ROUTES.ts:790) — lowercase.
PublicScreens registers <RootStack.Screen name={SCREENS.HOME}> without a path mapping. React Navigation falls back to deriving a URL from the screen name → /Home.
The authenticated TAB_NAVIGATOR maps [SCREENS.HOME]: { path: ROUTES.HOME } → /home.
React Navigation's path matcher is case-sensitive, so /Home ≠ /home.

Any of these entry points can deliver /Home:

HybridApp handoff (OldDot → NewDot via HybridAppModule.getInitialURL() at hybridApp/index.native.ts:9).
A web user (or a deep link) hitting https://new.expensify.com/Home.
Anywhere React Navigation internally regenerates a URL from state via getPathFromState and ends up emitting /Home (e.g. state restoration after backgrounding, push-notification handoff, sign-in flows that compute a target path from screen name).

              🚫  NOT_FOUND screen renders
                  "Hmm... it's not here"

There is already a one-off guard at Link.ts:274-278 that rewrites /Home → '', but it lives inside openReportFromDeepLink. It only protects callers that go through that helper. It does not intercept NavigationContainer's initial state derivation, so every other code path that reaches getStateFromPath('/Home') still ends at NOT_FOUND.

After the fix (general)

The fix moves the /Home guard down to the single chokepoint that every URL-to-state derivation goes through: linking.getStateFromPath. So all of the entry points above are covered by one wrapper.

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Any entry point produces URL: "/Home" or "Home"          │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

   New wrapper in

                          ▼
   Empty path resolves to the root state
   (no wildcard fall-through).
                          │
                          ▼
        ✅  Correct root screen renders
            (SignInPage for unauth, Home tab
             for authenticated users)

Why "general" matters

One layer covers all callers. The wrapper sits at the LinkingOptions.getStateFromPath boundary, which is the function React Navigation always invokes for cold-start URL parsing, deep-link handling, and any internal linking.getStateFromPath consumer. Anything that hits /Home from any source is now normalized.
Defensive, not bug-specific. Even if a future caller (a new HybridApp path, a push-notification payload, a marketing email link, a regenerated URL after state restoration) ends up emitting /Home, it won't render NOT_FOUND anymore.
No behavior change for other URLs. The wrapper only matches the exact strings /Home and Home; every other path still goes straight to getAdaptedStateFromPath untouched, so registered routes (including the authenticated /home) keep their existing behavior.

Single source of the patch

Only src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/index.ts changes — a thin wrapper around getAdaptedStateFromPath that normalizes the two /Home variants to ''. No routes, screens, navigators, or other call sites are touched.

Done in ae573c3:

Comment: updated to your wording in getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts:416-417.
Tests: added a getAdaptedStateFromPath /Home normalization describe block to tests/unit/DeeplinkRouteNormalizationTest.ts covering:
- /Home → inner getStateFromPath called with /
- bare Home (no leading slash) → /
- lowercase /home left untouched (sanity check)
- paths that merely contain Home (e.g. /Home/extra) left untouched
- unrelated paths pass through

All 10 tests in the file pass locally, plus adjacent navigation suites (getStateFromPath, getMatchingFullScreenRoute, getDynamicRouteAdapted, getPathFromState) remain green.

This /Home to / normalization duplicates the identical logic already present in src/libs/actions/Link.ts (lines 274-278), which normalizes /${SCREENS.HOME} to '' for the same reason. Both guards exist to prevent the capitalized /Home route from reaching the navigation tree.

Since getAdaptedStateFromPath is a lower-level entry point that processes paths before state derivation, the fix here should cover all code paths. Consider removing the now-redundant guard in Link.ts:openReportFromDeepLink (lines 274-278) to keep a single source of truth for this normalization. If the Link.ts guard is still needed for a reason not covered by getAdaptedStateFromPath, add a comment explaining why both are necessary.

getAdaptedStateFromPath handles URL-to-state derivation (cold start, linking config). The guard in openReportFromDeepLink handles programmatic navigation after sign-in, which goes through Navigation.navigate() and does not pass through getAdaptedStateFromPath.
Removing either one would leave a gap.

The /Home normalization guard added here duplicates the same logic that already exists in src/libs/actions/Link.ts (line 276):

Since the goal of this PR is to centralize the normalization in getAdaptedStateFromPath, the duplicate guard in Link.ts should be removed. Keeping both means the normalization runs twice for deeplink paths and the two locations can drift out of sync.

🤖 Help site review: no changes required.

This PR is an internal navigation/routing bug fix. It normalizes the /Home URL to root in the linking config so that an OldDot→NewDot transition on HybridApp lands on the home page instead of the "Hmm... it's not here" NOT_FOUND screen.

The change is contained to:

src/libs/Navigation/helpers/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts — internal navigation helper
tests/unit/DeeplinkRouteNormalizationTest.ts — unit tests

There is no new feature, no UI/label/settings change, and no change to any user-facing workflow. Help site articles under docs/articles document customer-facing features, billing, and workflows — none of which are affected by this fix. No draft PR was created because there is nothing to document.

@truph01, no linked help site PR was created since no documentation changes are required. If you believe a specific article is impacted, let me know which one and I'll take another look.
