Description

### 🕹️Platform
Android / iOS

### 🔢App Version
Not specified

### 📱Device Information
Not specified

### 📄Issue description
On mobile, a scene's owner/creator is sometimes displayed as "SDK" instead of the correct value ("Regenesis Labs"), while the same scene shows the correct owner name in the Unity (desktop) client.

Reported by Agustin Carriso for a scene where Unity correctly shows "Regenesis Labs" but mobile shows "SDK". Team members checking the same scene right after saw it correctly as "Regenesis Labs", and it self-resolved for the original reporter after closing/reopening the app — strongly suggesting a client-side caching issue with stale/placeholder scene metadata rather than a deploy/scene.json problem (Creator Hub only lets you edit name/description/thumbnail for world settings, not the owner/author field directly).

### Theories
1. Mobile client caches scene metadata (including owner/author field) and doesn't invalidate/refetch it after a new deploy, showing a stale placeholder value ("SDK") until app restart.
2. Race condition where mobile fetches scene metadata before the deploy's real author field is fully propagated/indexed, falling back to a default/placeholder value.

### ✅Expected behavior
Mobile should always display the correct, up-to-date scene owner/author name, matching what's shown in the Unity/desktop client, without requiring the user to close and reopen the app.

### 🖼️Screenshots / Media
Screenshots were shared in the Slack thread (mobile showing "SDK" vs Unity showing "Regenesis Labs") — needs manual upload to this issue.

### ▶️Steps to reproduce
1. Open a scene/world on mobile that has previously been visited or was recently redeployed.
2. Check the scene owner/author name shown in mobile UI.
3. Compare against the same scene's owner shown in the Unity (desktop) client.
4. Close and reopen the mobile app, then recheck — issue was observed to self-resolve after this step.
