Description

Environment:

  • OS: iOS 18.0
  • IceCubesApp version: 1.10.59

Description

When refreshing the timeline, I get "An error occurred while loading posts, please try again".

It seems this is because my server (GoToSocial) had an emoji with url/staticUrl as empty strings, so decoding the emoji failed. I did get it to load successfully with this change, though I don't know if this is the ideal way of handling this scenario.

Inspect the emoji decoding path and the linked commit e927c48810ba11341cfc7d55cc661df01552f85e. Reproduce timeline loading with an emoji whose url and staticUrl are empty strings, then verify that posts load successfully without the decoding error.
