Changing profiles takes minutes rather than seconds now

For the last few days, attempting to change profiles puts the app in a loading icon state for minutes. It used to take less than 3 seconds.

Thanks for the report! I will look into it - I suspect the API was having a hiccup. The loading screen while switching is the app waiting for an API request with the user information to load in. But now that I'm typing it out maybe I could be loading a cache copy and refresh the cache in the background.

Couldn't see your reply as OP account for some reason. Anyway...

Seems there's a new update (I can tell because notifications now require hitting a check mark to dismiss, hope there's a way to turn that off) and noticed some new bugs:

  1. Changing profiles has returned to taking minutes as opposed to seconds, again

  2. Clicking my profile now leads to an error message, tested on multiple profiles

Now the profile button has completely disappeared... ?

Also noticing I don't have an edit comment button for the above comment, weird

Could you try switching accounts again on beta v348? I made some more speed improvements. If the API call to get the new user fails or takes a long time I think it might stop you seeing the profile button on the drawer.

If it's still happening is this limited to just one instance or multiple?

My app is on 343, not sure how to prompt update

If you want to join the beta track it can be joined here. If you prefer to stay on the main track I'm hoping to push the next update tonight. Cheers!

Just in case it's helpful, when the Profile button does show up, clicking on it leads to this ^

I've been trying to switch back to this profile all day, it's been giving me perpetual loading icon. Failed to load .world and sh.itjustworks profiles

Was able to load .mtgzone just fine but that one can't see your comments to respond to

Would you mind trying this on beta? You will be able to leave the beta in the future if you're worried about instability. I made some improvements to how the profile resolution happens in 252. Although I'm not 100% if this will solve your issue as I'm having some issues reproducing it.

Update: it switched from 2min back down to 5sec. No idea why

Now it seems to vary by server
