@Julesssss @puneetlath IOS is crashing on launch. Logging issue. Did IOS build deploy?

[Julesssss]

Yeah I see that 9.1.9.0 was pushed to TestFlight and that's the latest version.

I can reproduce the crash on launch when authenticated, but if I'm signed out then I land at the authentication page.

[puneetlath]

I can repro as well. Yikes. Let’s go ahead and create a blocker for it and we can have the team start looking into it.

Demoting #57798, feature is not visible to customers yet (cc @MonilBhavsar)

[AndrewGable]

iOS is fixed on latest staging version

[francoisl]

Hi @mvtglobally and team, if you see any other bug with the help pane, feel free to open an issue, but no need to make it a blocker. You can add a link to your issue in this tracking issue instead. Thanks!

Regression is at 83% completed.

Not sure what the process is for blockers but note that this PR caused a blocker. The fix is up here and would need to be CPed, cc @blazejkustra
