Invited device not able to participate in project if joining fails after accepting invite #937
Description
The reproduction steps are as follows:
- A invites B
- B receives invite, presses accept.
- A has been notified that B has accepted the invite. From A’s perspective, B is a fully working member of the project now. However, on B’s side, it is still doing the work to actually join the project (i.e. save the info in its database), which currently takes a decently long time for whatever reason.
- While the joining part is happening, B closes the app or the app/device crashes (could happen for any number of reasons).
- B re-opens the app. There is no indication that B is actually part of the project.
- A recognizes B as a project member, but there’s no way in the app for A to invite B again and thus B becomes a “stranded” member. B is unable to meaningfully participate in the project as a result.
The only workaround is for B to clear its storage or reinstall the app, such that it becomes discoverable by A as a completely new device.
