[HOLD for payment 2024-03-05] [Contributor] Add Visit Expensify Classic Button to NewDot

[danielrvidal]

Part of #wave9-collect-signups project

Main issue: Originated from this internal issue: https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/344901
Doc section: no design doc - this was pre-designed already.
Project: #wave9-collect-signups

Feature Description

Problem: As we start migrating users from OldDot to NewDot and point new signUps to NewDot, some users will require OldDot functionality to complete tasks, add secondary logins, use functionality not available on NewDot, access old expense/reports, and so on. If a user currently is in NewDot, the most straightforward way to access OldDot is to open a new tab and type in expensify.com to get to OldDot, which causes confusion. If they have the tryNewDot redirect, typing in expensify.com would not work and you’d have to send them a specific link or instructions how to do so.

Solution: Add a button in NewDot to allow user to easily navigate to OldDot.

• Note: some users have the tryNewDot NVP applied to their accounts which means if they type in www.expensify.com, they are redirected to OldDot. This will not remove the NVP but will allow the user to be taken to the inbox.

Where will we add the button?
You’d find the button by going to Avatar > Settings. Then above Sign Out we’ll add the button Go to Expensify Classic (Image in thread of where it will go). Mock up here:

What will the button do?

• Web (desktop/mobile) - opens up a new tab for https://www.expensify.com/inbox
• NewDot App - leaves the app and opens up a new tab for https://www.expensify.com/inbox in your default browser
• [HOLD] HybridApp - stays in HybridApp and goes to settings in OldDot. The hybrid app is not ready yet so we do not need to account for this use case yet, but just accounting that it will be here later.

I think this should have everything you need to complete this. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Add Visit Expensify Classic Button to NewDot

What is the root cause of that problem?

New Feature

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We will be adding another menuItem here, before Sign Out button.

App/src/pages/settings/InitialSettingsPage.js

Lines 259 to 265 in 165caf5

	{
	translationKey: 'initialSettingsPage.signOut',
	icon: Expensicons.Exit,
	action: () => {
	signOut(false);
	},
	},

{
    translationKey: 'initialSettingsPage.goToExpensifyClassic',
    icon: Expensicons.Expensify,
    iconRight: Expensicons.NewWindow,
    action: () => {    
        Linking.openURL(CONST.OLDDOT_URL);
    },
},

And add this CONST variable:

OLDDOT_URL: 'https://www.expensify.com/'
