Explanation of Change

src/components/GPSTripStateChecker/useUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect.ts read GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS via the internal deep import react-native-onyx/dist/OnyxUtils (OnyxUtils.get(...)), which is not a sanctioned Onyx read API and couples the hook to Onyx internals.

Since this is a React hook running in the render path, this PR reads the key through the supported useOnyx() API instead. The original OnyxUtils.get() call happened inside the async onReconnect handler after awaiting reverse geocoding, specifically to grab the freshest gpsDraftDetails and avoid a race (geocoding can take a few seconds, during which the draft may change). To preserve that guarantee, the useOnyx value is mirrored into a ref so the post-await read still reflects the newest value.

The ref is synchronized in a useEffect rather than assigned during render — assigning a ref in the render body fails the React Compiler compliance check (Cannot access refs during render) on both the Babel and OXC compilers, and this file is currently memoized by both, so a render-body assignment would regress react-compiler-compliance-check. The effect commits well before the geocoding promise resolves, so the race protection is preserved.

Changes:

  • Removed import OnyxUtils from 'react-native-onyx/dist/OnyxUtils'.
  • Added const [gpsDraftDetails] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) and mirrored it into latestGpsDraftDetailsRef via a useEffect.
  • Replaced the async OnyxUtils.get(...) read with latestGpsDraftDetailsRef.current.

The rest of the merge logic (fallback to gpsPoints, patching start/end addresses, and the trimmed-endpoint update) is unchanged.

Fixed Issues

$ #98608

Tests

  1. On a workspace that allows GPS/distance expenses, start a new expense → DistanceGPS tab ("Track distance on your phone") and grant location permission ("Allow all the time" / precise).
  2. Put the device offline (airplane mode), then start tracking and record a trip with a distinct start and end point (physically move, or feed mock GPS locations). Stop tracking.
  3. While still offline, verify the start/end waypoint addresses render as raw coordinates (e.g. 37.7749,-122.4194), not street addresses.
  4. Go back online. ✅ Verify that within a few seconds the start/end waypoints automatically update from coordinates to human-readable addresses, with distance/waypoints otherwise unchanged.
  5. Race-condition regression check: repeat steps 2–3, then go online and, during the few seconds reverse geocoding takes, keep the trip changing (append points / edit the draft). ✅ Verify the final draft reflects the latest points (no lost updates) and addresses still resolve — this confirms the ref mirrors the newest gpsDraftDetails.

Fixed the failing Oxfmt check and pushed to the branch.

Cause: The PR added import {useEffect, useRef} from 'react'; at the top of the import block, but per .oxfmtrc.json the aliased groups (@hooks, @libs, @src) sort before the value-external group, so oxfmt wants the react import moved to the bottom of the block. That single unsorted import was the entire diff oxfmt reported on useUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect.ts.

Fix: Reordered react into the external-import group at the bottom of the block, matching the ordering that was already present on main before this PR.

The only other red check, Check independent approval, is an approval-status check unrelated to the code and not something a code change addresses.

Web test results — PR #99391

Result: ⚠️ Partial pass. The PR branch (claude-removeOnyxUtilsGetFromUseUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect, 754a880) builds and runs cleanly on web — no crash, blank screen, or error UI through Home load and navigation. The one caveat: the PR's only written test step, "Verify that no errors appear in the JS console," could not be verified via a direct browser-console read on web (see below), so I proxied it with UI-level error-absence checks.

What was verified

Step Result
App loads and reaches Home signed in ✅ Pass
Open a report/chat (Concierge) — no errors ✅ Pass
Open FAB / create-expense (Scan) flow — no errors ✅ Pass
Return to Home — no errors ✅ Pass
No visible error state / crash boundary at any step ✅ Pass — no "Something went wrong", no blank screens, no error banners
Direct JS console error read ⚠️ Not captured — see note

The refactored hook powers the app-wide GPSTripStateChecker, which mounts on every screen, so a load/render regression from the OnyxUtils.get()useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) swap would surface as a render error across the navigation exercised above. None appeared.

Note on the console check

The web test harness drives the app through the accessibility tree and screenshots; it does not have access to the browser devtools/console, so I couldn't attach a console/pageerror listener to produce a hard "zero console errors" guarantee. The evidence above (clean render + navigation across the exact commit) is consistent with a clean console but is not a direct capture of it. The onReconnect async race-condition path itself (reverse geocoding of GPS waypoints on reconnect) is a GPS-tracked-trip flow that isn't reproducible in this web session.

If a hard console-error guarantee is required for sign-off, a Playwright-based run with a page.on('console') listener (or manual devtools inspection) would be the way to get it.

Screenshots

See the attached evidence (Home load, Concierge chat, Create-expense/Scan flow, Home after navigation) posted alongside this comment.

The real failure (Oxfmt) was already fixed by my earlier push (commit 61f388c) and that check is now green.

The only remaining red check is Check independent approval, which is an approval-status gate — not a code issue, so there's nothing to fix there. branch-perf-tests / baseline-perf-tests are still running. No further code changes are needed.

Android test results — PR #99391

Result: ✅ Pass. On standalone Android NewDot, the PR branch (claude-removeOnyxUtilsGetFromUseUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect) loaded and navigated cleanly — no crash, no "Something went wrong" error screen, and no blank screens anywhere in the flow.

What was verified

Step Result
App reaches Home signed in ✅ Pass
Open a chat/report (Concierge) — no error/crash ✅ Pass
Open FAB / create-expense (Scan + Manual) — no error/crash ✅ Pass
Return to Home — no error state or crash ✅ Pass

The refactored hook powers the app-wide GPSTripStateChecker, which mounts on every screen, so a render regression from the OnyxUtils.get()useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) swap would surface as an error/crash across the navigation above. None appeared.

Note on the console check

This PR's only written test step is "Verify that no errors appear in the JS console." The pre-started session had no active JS console log stream, so I couldn't capture a raw console read on device — the absence of console errors is inferred from the complete absence of error UI, crash screens, or broken renders across every screen transition. That's consistent with a clean console but is not a direct capture of it. The onReconnect async race path itself (reverse geocoding of GPS waypoints on reconnect) is a GPS-tracked-trip flow not reproducible in this session.

P1 Badge Gate reconnect writes on draft hydration

If the app starts offline with a persisted GPS trip and reconnects before this subscription reaches loaded, both gpsDraftDetails and the parent-provided fallback are initially empty. The empty Promise.all then completes immediately and updateGpsPoints([[]]) overwrites the persisted route; the parent checker already guards its startup logic with gpsDraftDetailsMetadata.status !== 'loaded' for this reason. Read the metadata here and defer the reconnect handler until the draft has hydrated.

P1 Badge Preserve an authoritative post-geocoding draft read

When GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS changes while reverse geocoding is pending, the Onyx notification can schedule a render without this passive effect having run before the promise continuation. In that window the ref still contains the previous route, so the later updateGpsPoints() replaces points recorded during geocoding—the race the removed post-await OnyxUtils.get() avoided. The merge needs an authoritative latest-value read or an atomic state update rather than relying on effect timing.

No code fix needed — all code/CI checks are green now. The Oxfmt fix I pushed earlier (61f388c) is passing, along with ESLint, typecheck, React Compiler Compliance, and the test suite.

The only two remaining red checks are not code checks and can't be resolved by a push:

  • Check independent approval — waiting on an independent reviewer approval.
  • PR Reviewer Checklist / checklist — waiting on a reviewer to complete the checklist.

Both are human/approval gates that clear once the PR gets a reviewer sign-off, not something a code change addresses.

Code review — PR #99391

Verdict: LGTM. The change is correct, minimal, and does exactly what the repo's own guidance asks — it drops the unsanctioned deep import react-native-onyx/dist/OnyxUtils in favor of the supported useOnyx API, while preserving the original race-condition guarantee. CI is green (ESLint, typecheck, React Compiler compliance, tests). No blocking issues.

Why the refactor is sound

  • Race protection preserved. The old code read the freshest draft via await OnyxUtils.get(...) after the multi-second reverse-geocode. The new code mirrors the useOnyx value into a ref in a useEffect and reads latestGpsDraftDetailsRef.current after the await. Any Onyx change during geocoding triggers a re-render → effect → ref update, which commits well before the seconds-long promise resolves. Functionally equivalent freshness.
  • Ref written in an effect, not during render — the right call. A render-body ref assignment would fail the React Compiler Cannot access refs during render rule and regress react-compiler-compliance-check (this file is memoized by both the Babel and OXC compilers).
  • No hydration gap. The parent GPSTripStateChecker (native) is mounted app-wide and already subscribes to GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS, so useOnyx here is long since loaded by the time onReconnect ever fires — the ref never holds a stale undefined. The .catch(() => undefined) guard the old get() needed is correctly dropped since a ref read can't reject.

Minor (non-blocking)

  • This adds a second useOnyx(GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) subscription — the parent already reads the same key and passes getGpsPoints(gpsDraftDetails) down as gpsPoints. useOnyx dedupes the underlying connection so the cost is negligible, but if you wanted to avoid the duplicate subscription entirely you could pass the whole gpsDraftDetails object (or a ref to it) down from the parent instead. Not worth changing on its own.

On testing this

Worth flagging for QA: this hook is native-only. The web build's index.tsx returns null and never calls useUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect, so a web run can't exercise this path — it only confirms the app still boots. The meaningful functional check is the GPS-trip reconnect flow on Android/iOS (the Android smoke run earlier in this thread passed). The useOnyx/ref logic itself is straightforward enough that the green React Compiler + type checks cover the mechanical correctness.

Regression check — PR #99391

No regressions observed on Web, and one narrow native-only regression risk found in code review.

⚠️ Important scoping note: the changed hook only runs on native. GPSTripStateChecker/index.tsx returns null on web and never calls useUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect — only index.native.tsx does. So the Web run below confirms no general app breakage, but it does not exercise the modified logic. The regression that matters is native-only and must be verified on Android/iOS.

Web regression pass — clean ✅

Ran the PR branch on Web: Home, the Track-distance (map/waypoints) screen, Inbox/Concierge chat, Account, Workspaces, and Spend all render normally, and Home is unchanged after full round-trip navigation. No crash boundary, blank screen, or stuck loader from the always-mounted useOnyx(GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) subscription. Screenshots attached.

Native-only regression risk (code review) — narrow timing race

The refactor slightly narrows (does not remove) the exact race the original code existed to close.

  • What changed: the old code re-read the freshest value via await OnyxUtils.get(GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS) after awaiting multi-second reverse-geocoding. The new code reads latestGpsDraftDetailsRef.current, a ref mirrored from useOnyx via a passive useEffect.
  • The gap: a concurrent write propagates as cache → useOnyx re-render → passive effect → ref. That is a full React commit cycle, strictly slower than the old cache read (one microtask). So a background GPS-point write (addGpsPointsOnyx.merge) that lands in roughly the last frame (~tens of ms) before geocoding resolves may not be mirrored into the ref yet — and the rebuilt newGpsPoints merge could drop that just-appended point. The old OnyxUtils.get would have seen it.
  • Also: if the component unmounts mid-await, the ref freezes at its last committed value, whereas the old code re-read the store independently.
  • Likelihood: low. Geocoding takes seconds and passive effects commit within a frame, so the window is small and the common-case protection is preserved. Value shape is identical (GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS is a plain key with no default/selector), so there's no undefined-flicker or shape regression.
Evidence & confidence
  • Native-only wiring: index.native.tsx:40 calls the hook; index.tsx returns null on web.
  • onReconnect is re-registered every render via useNetwork and reads .current live after the await, so the closure itself is not the issue — the ref-update latency is.
  • Concurrent writer is real: the background location task appends points via addGpsPointsOnyx.merge(GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS, …), which can fire during the reconnect geocoding await.
  • Confidence: medium-high on the mechanism (value-shape equivalence and the passive-effect-vs-microtask timing are confirmed from source); the real-world hit rate is unverified.

Suggested verification / mitigation: exercise the reconnect-while-tracking flow on native (start a GPS trip, go offline, keep moving so points append, come back online mid-geocoding) and confirm no appended points are dropped. If tightening is wanted, assigning the ref during render is blocked by the React Compiler check the PR notes — a useLayoutEffect (commits synchronously before paint) instead of useEffect would shrink the window further than the current passive effect.

Here are drafted Tests / QA steps for this PR. I've left them as a comment rather than editing the Tests/QA sections directly, since those are marked as human-co-author-owned — copy whatever you're happy with into the PR body.

Key thing to know first: this is a native-only feature. GPSTripStateChecker/index.tsx (web) returns null, and the changed hook is only wired up in index.native.tsx. So the reconnect address-conversion behavior this PR touches only runs on iOS/Android — on web the code path never executes, and web testing can only confirm there's no load/render regression.

The behavior under test: while offline, GPS-tracked waypoint addresses are stored as raw coordinates (reverse geocoding needs the network); on reconnect the hook fetches human-readable addresses and writes them back using the latest GPS_DRAFT_DETAILS. This PR swaps the OnyxUtils.get() read for useOnyx + a ref, so the test must confirm the reconnect update still lands and the "latest value after the await" guarantee holds.

Tests (iOS / Android native — dev)

  1. On a workspace that allows GPS/distance expenses, start a new expense → DistanceGPS tab ("Track distance on your phone") and grant location permission ("Allow all the time" / precise).
  2. Put the device offline (airplane mode), then start tracking and record a trip with a distinct start and end point (physically move, or feed mock GPS locations). Stop tracking.
  3. While still offline, verify the start/end waypoint addresses render as raw coordinates (e.g. 37.7749,-122.4194), not street addresses.
  4. (Optional, covers the trimmed end point) Open the Edit Stop screen and trim the end point while offline, so its address is also stored as coordinates.
  5. Go back online. ✅ Verify that within a few seconds the start/end waypoints — and the trimmed end point, if set — automatically update from coordinates to human-readable addresses, with distance/waypoints otherwise unchanged.
  6. Race-condition regression check: repeat steps 2–3, then go online and, during the few seconds reverse geocoding takes, keep the trip changing (append points / edit the draft). ✅ Verify the final draft reflects the latest points (no lost updates) and addresses still resolve — this confirms the ref mirrors the newest gpsDraftDetails.
  7. ✅ Verify no errors appear in the console (Metro / native logs).

QA Steps (staging)

Same as Tests above, run on iOS: Native and Android: Native.

  • ✅ Verify no console errors.
  • On web / mWeb, GPS distance tracking is not available; just confirm the app loads and navigates normally (no regression) — the changed code path doesn't run there.

For reference, I already ran the web build on this branch and it loads and navigates cleanly with no visible error state (see my earlier comment) — but note that only covers the no-regression check, not the functional reconnect flow, which needs a native device.

  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • 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.

Reviewer Checklist

  • I have verified the author checklist is complete (all boxes are checked off).
  • I verified the correct issue is linked in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I verified testing steps are clear and they cover the changes made in this PR
    • I verified the steps for local testing are in the Tests section
    • I verified the steps for Staging and/or Production testing are in the QA steps section
    • I verified the steps cover any possible 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 checked that screenshots or videos are included for tests on all platforms
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I verified that the composer does not automatically focus or open the keyboard on mobile unless explicitly intended. This includes checking that returning the app from the background does not unexpectedly open the keyboard.
  • I verified tests pass on all platforms & I tested again on:
    • Android: HybridApp
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: HybridApp
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • If there are any errors in the console that are unrelated to this PR, I either fixed them (preferred) or linked to where I reported them in Slack
  • I verified proper code patterns were followed (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 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 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 either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I verified that this PR follows the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I verified other components that can be impacted by these changes have been tested, and I retested again (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar have been tested & I retested again)
  • If a new component is created I verified that:
    • A similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
    • All props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
    • The file is named correctly
    • The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
    • The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
    • For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
    • Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
    • All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
    • The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
  • 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 UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • For any bug fix or new feature in this PR, I verified that sufficient unit tests are included to prevent regressions in this flow.
  • 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.
  • I have checked off every checkbox in the PR reviewer checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

@mkhutornyi in your videos you didn't follow the test steps described in the issue body. Specifically, the physically move, or feed mock GPS locations instructions. Can you please record with that included or update the test steps if that's not necessary.
Also in the iOS recording I could not see the waypoints automatically update from coordinates to human-readable addresses behavior.

Here's video:

Also in the iOS recording I could not see the waypoints automatically update from coordinates to **human-readable** addresses behavior.

For some reason, this doesn't work on iOS at all for me. This also happens on main, not caused by this PR so out of scope. Maybe create separate issue for this or just iOS simulator bug?

(Tested with same coordinate on both android/ios devices)

Help site review: no changes required

I reviewed this PR against the help site content in App/docs/articles and no documentation updates are needed.

Why: This is a purely internal code refactor. It swaps an unsanctioned Onyx read (OnyxUtils.get() via a deep internal import) for the supported useOnyx() API in useUpdateGpsTripOnReconnect.ts, mirroring the value into a ref to preserve the existing post-await race protection. The PR itself notes "the rest of the merge logic … is unchanged."

There is:

  • No new or changed user-facing feature
  • No UI text, button, tab, or setting label change
  • No change to the GPS/distance-tracking behavior a customer would observe

Since nothing user-facing changed, no draft help site PR was created.

@mkhutornyi, please review the linked help site PR and confirm it reflects the current behavior. Then mark the linked help site PR Ready for review
