React Native Offline App Behavior
I'm build an iOS app with Expo / React Native. I am using Expo Go at least for now (honestly this could be my issue...). Testing on an iPhone.
What's the default behavior for Convex functions when network connection is lost? I was expecting an error, but instead what happened was nothing until I reconnected to the network and it processed all the requests. Is this normal? I was hoping it would throw an error or something so I could handle it, instead it created a buggy UI experience.
I'll have to make a dev build to really test this, but just wanted to see if anyone knew the expected behavior here. Thanks.

The Convex client doesn't currently have proactive handling for connection issues, but you can poll the connection state to add your own: https://docs.convex.dev/api/classes/react.ConvexReactClient#connectionstate
