Prepublishing Nudges : Password Protected & Visibility UI/UX inconsistency

Expected behavior

That it will be clear which Status & Visibility is being used.

Actual behavior

Currently, we had to combine the functionality of Status & Visibility because Android does not have the Visibility functionality implemented.

iOS Post Settings - Visibility

This is the Visibility functionality on iOS.

Before	After

Android Post Settings - Status & Visibility

The Visibility functionality is not implemented on Android. Currently, to accomplish this behavior you have to select a PostStatus that represents either Public or Private respectively. To get the Password Protected Visibility, you have to add a Password to the post as seen below.

Prepublishing Nudges

iOS prepublishing bottom sheet - Visibility

On iOS, the Visibility functionality was added to the Prepublishing Nudges bottom sheet, similar to how it's represented in the Post Settings.

Before	After

Android prepublishing bottom sheet - Visibility

On Android, there was an initial attempt to implement this similarly to how it was done on iOS but there were some discrepancies present in the implementation and it was deemed too complex to resolve within the scope and timeline set for this project so another approach was taken. This involved utilizing the Post Status component in the Post Settings as the Visibility.

Concerns

So the main concern currently is related to this discussion here where there could be unintended side effects since when the post is Password Protected you are not able to see the Status.

For the most part, the user can infer, what will happen to the post because the bottom sheet's Publish/Submit Button will give enough context. As seen below.

Demonstration

To demonstrate further here is a a gif showing how the PostStatus is reflecting when the button changes even though it's Password Protected. What happens is the PostStatus remains, it's just that setting the Password Protected option hides it.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

To reproduce this simply follow these steps.

1. Create a new post.
2. Click Publish.
3. Click Status & Visibility.
4. Toggle from any Post Status to Password Protected and then press back to see the Home UI.

Tested on Google Pixel 4 XL, Android 10, WPAndroid develop ()

Start by reproducing the Android flow described in the issue on the Post Settings and prepublishing bottom sheet, especially switching from a Post Status to Password Protected. Read the linked discussion for the known side effects and compare the Android behavior with the screenshots; done means the selected status and visibility are presented consistently without hiding relevant information.
