Explanation of Change

Adds a frontend fix for failing backend OpenPolicyCompanyCardsFeed and OpenPolicyCompanyCardsPage API requests. This PR adds logic that if any of the requests fails, will add an error to the workspace and or card feed and show it appropriately in the UI.

Fixed Issues

https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/587676
$ https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/594856
PROPOSAL:

Tests

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Preparation:

  1. Log in with an account
  2. Go to Account -> Troubleshoot
  3. Open dev menu -> Simulate failing network requests
  4. Clear and reset Onyx data

Test case 1:

  1. Do the above preparation steps.
  2. Create a new workspace and go to "Company cards" tab
    Make sure that the new error UI is shown
  3. Disable "Simulate failing network requests"
  4. Tab out and back into Company cards tab
  5. Make sure that the new error UI is NOT shown

Test case 2:

  1. Do the above preparation steps.
  2. Open an existing workspace with a card feed and go to "Company cards" tab
    Make sure that the new error UI is shown
  3. Disable "Simulate failing network requests"
  4. Tab out and back into Company cards tab
  5. Make sure that the new error UI is NOT shown

Offline tests

QA Steps

// TODO: These must be filled out, or the issue title must include "[No QA]."

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover 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 tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx
  • I followed proper code patterns (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 shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • 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)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • 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 new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • 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.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • 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.

Hey, I noticed you changed src/languages/en.ts in a PR from a fork. For security reasons, translations are not generated automatically for PRs from forks.

If you want to automatically generate translations for other locales, an Expensify employee will have to:

  1. Look at the code and make sure there are no malicious changes.
  2. Run the Generate static translations GitHub workflow. If you have write access and the K2 extension, you can simply click: [this button]

Alternatively, if you are an external contributor, you can run the translation script locally with your own OpenAI API key. To learn more, try running:

npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --help

Typically, you'd want to translate only what you changed by running npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --compare-ref main

The error reported by @MarioExpensify has been fixed in the latest commit:

Screen.Recording.2026-01-28.at.13.02.03.mov

The issue was that the error was set in the finallyData instead of failureData, therefore the user would always see the error.

P2 Badge Avoid hiding cached cards when read is dropped offline

isLoadingFeed now depends on selectedFeedStatus?.isLoading, which is set optimistically by openPolicyCompanyCardsFeed. Because API.read requests are discarded when the app is offline, that flag never clears in offline mode, so showCards stays false and the cached cards list is hidden indefinitely until a reconnect triggers another read. This regression will show a blank page for offline users who already have cached cards. Consider skipping the selectedFeedStatus.isLoading gate when isOffline, or using a finallyData/offline guard so the loading flag doesn’t stick.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Should we show the error page in offline mode? Currently, we don't show the error on the Expensify card page, so if we show the error in company card page, it can cause the inconsistency

CleanShot 2026-01-28 at 17 09 24@2x

I feel like we use it elsewhere and I recall seeing @dannymcclain provide specific dimensions for it, in case we want to make sure this one is using the same size too.

Bug:

  1. Open the workspace that doesn't have a company card
  2. Open the company card page
  3. Observe that the empty view is displayed along with the loading view
