Summary
FIXED
Some of our customers have reported that when using Salesforce mobile app for when navigating to Record Details pages, the app will not load the page and gets stuck on a blank screen. Here are the current affected use case scenarios:
1. Users see a 'Try Again' screen. The app may or may not recover. Other error messages related to authentication. (FIX released for this issue as part of Salesforce App 220.1 iOS)
2. Users experience White screens in the App. All the records fail to load. The app never recovers. (FIX is PLANNED for Salesforce App 220.3 iOS ETA July 17th Safe Harbor)
3. Users keep seeing launch pages. (Today, VF pages, Dashboards or last correctly loaded record) when they try to navigate to *any* record through *any* flow - Search, Chatter, Related List, Object Lists., Deeplinking App never recovers (FIX is PLANNED for Salesforce App 220.3 iOS ETA July 17th Safe Harbor)
NOTE: Users reporting this are on strong network connections.
Salesforce Engineering is continuing to investigate. Please follow this KI for additional updates.
Repro
1. Log into the Salesforce Android mobile app.
2. Leave the app idle for an extended period of time.
3. Come back into the app and attempt to navigate to a record detail page.
4. Observe the page does not load and loads to a whitescreen.
Workaround
The issue affects only the Salesforce Mobile app. Users should also clear cache: via the App's Main Menu 'Setting' selection [ Advanced | Clear Cache]
Optionally: Log into Salesforce via Chrome or Safari browser on your mobile device.
As of early August 21st, this issue should be resolved for all iOS users. Android behavior was corrected via a Chrome update in July.
Salesforce Engineering has identified fixes for the White Screen issues for both iOS and Android app users. This issue was multi-faceted, affecting both iOS and Android app differently and requiring different fixes to be applied. See below for fix details.
For Android app: Salesforce for Android relies on certain pieces of Chrome in order to function correctly. Salesforce and Google engineering partnered to identify a root cause related to a configuration of Chrome. That configuration is now turned off for all Chrome users by Google and affected users should now be rolled back. Once the new configuration is applied, the previously seen white screen issues on Android devices should be resolved, without an update of Salesforce App.
For iOS app: Salesforce App 220.3 version should be available via AppStore on July 17th (Safe Harbor).
