@OfstadC FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[izarutskaya]

We think this issue might be related to the #collect project.

[rlinoz]

Yeah, this is most likely caused by #44903

We don't seem to have changed anything related in Web-E, so I am gonna remove the blocker label.

Dupe of #44701

Not an blocker. This is a known Hybrid app issue.
