Proposal

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

App back button loops between card page and card selection page

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we go back from WorkspaceCompanyCardFeedSelectorPage, it still exists in the navigation stack. When navigating back to WorkspacePageWithSections, using Navigation.goBack with an undefined parameter redirects to the previous page, which is WorkspaceCompanyCardFeedSelectorPage

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspacePageWithSections.tsx

Line 187 in cb402cc

onBackButtonPress={() => (onBackButtonPress ? onBackButtonPress() : Navigation.goBack(backButtonRoute))}

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

To resolve this issue, we simply clean WorkspaceCompanyCardFeedSelectorPage by using Navigation.goBack();

App/src/pages/workspace/companyCards/WorkspaceCompanyCardFeedSelectorPage.tsx

Line 83 in 037e4cc

const goBack = () => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_COMPANY_CARDS.getRoute(policyID));

update to:

    const goBack = () => {
        Navigation.goBack();
        Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_COMPANY_CARDS.getRoute(policyID));
    };

or

    const goBack = () => {
        Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_COMPANY_CARDS.getRoute(policyID));
    };
