Description

Describe the Bug

It seems that as of app version 4.67 & 4.67.1, there's a problem sending messages in a normal, non-encrypted channel. My messages just get stuck sending like it can't connect but other channels, even ones of the same type work fine.

If I revert the app back to 4.66, it works fine. The screenshot I attached shows the message that is stuck. I can't retry it or delete it. I have to completely wipe the apps data and log back in for it to disappear. I don't see anything in the server/container logs.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce message sending on Rocket.Chat App 4.67.1 with Server 7.12.2, compare it with 4.66 on the listed Android device, and trace the normal-channel send path; done means messages send successfully and stuck messages can be retried or deleted.
