Description

Nature of issue?
  • Existing feature enhancement
Feature enhancement details:

Right now, when the user presses the Play icon, to the right of the header on the <MobileIDEView />, the app navigates to MobileSketchView, where the user is finally notified of the error.
This is bad UX - what we want to do is prevent this navigation if there are errors.
