Description

Post Settings > Featured Image - “Featured image did not load” message displayed in the row and the row is not tappable / doesn’t do anything

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Post with a feature image. Make sure it is uploaded to the server.
  2. Delete the app from the device.
  3. Install and run the app again.
  4. Open the Post List.
  5. Go offline.
  6. Edit the Post.
  7. Go to the Post's Settings. Notice the Featured Image section.

Tasks

  • Allow users to remove the featured image even while offline
  • #11433 Allow picking a featured image even when offline
  • Add tracking
  • Show a placeholder and a message?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the steps in Post Settings > Featured Image after reinstalling the app and going offline. The work is done when users can remove a featured image offline, tracking is added, and the existing placeholder/message behavior remains; picking an image is tracked separately in #11433.
