Description

Describe the bug

It appears that the tab switcher menu is hidden when the app is downloaded from the app store.

I tried building the app myself, when I install it on a real phone, I can't see the menu. I can only see it when installed on a virtual device using AVD. Is not this a bug?

How to Reproduce

Expected behavior

In the tab switcher, the '...' menu should be visible.

Environment

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the Google Play installation on the listed Pixel devices and compare it with an AVD installation. Inspect the tab switcher entry point and determine why the “...” menu is absent on physical devices; done means the menu is visible in the tab switcher on the affected devices.
