Bug Description

Every time I open the AppFlowy mobile app, the connection status banner at the top briefly shows “Disconnected”, then switches to “Connecting…” and only disappears/finishes after about 3–10 seconds. This happens on every app launch and is distracting, even though the app eventually connects successfully.

I’m self-hosting AppFlowy. The issue occurs both when accessing the server via Tailscale and when accessing the same instance via a public reverse proxy (publicly exposed URL), so it doesn’t seem specific to one access method.

It's very distracting and also a tad concerning, because I don't feel comfortable going through my notes without the connection being established.

How to Reproduce

Just start the mobile app, whilst self-hosting AppFlowy.

Expected Behavior

The app just starts without having to reconnect every time.

Operating System

Android

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.11.3
