Description
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to view my Private site in the app through My Site > View Site.
Actual behavior
I am not able to view my site with the error Invalid key [1] on my Private site. However, sites with the free ".wordpress.com" domain work fine.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Select a WordPress.com site that has a custom domain.
- Set site to Private.
- Go to My Site > View Site.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S9+, Android 10, WPAndroid 18.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android 10 with a private WordPress.com site using a custom domain, following My Site > View Site and observing the Invalid key [1] error. Trace the app flow for viewing private custom-domain sites; done means the site opens successfully while free .wordpress.com domains continue to work.
