Upload Progress is bad experience

[ryjen]

Describe the bug

When uploading a file to the internet archive, often the progress will remain indeterminate or stuck on a percentage

When the upload completes, there is a long delay, and will not show complete until the user navigates away and returns to screen

Sometimes the image display is janky

We upload multiple files which the progress is either not handled or resets:

• content
• metadata
• proof files

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Upload a file (IA)
2. Watch progress on main screen
3. See error

Expected behavior

• indeterminate progress initially
• progress starts happening with percentage
• when file completes progress is gone, and header updated
• all state shifts happen fluidly and in reasonable time

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS version: Any
• Device: Any
• App Version 0.3.1 or IA refactor

Additional context

• Should run performance monitor, you will likely see that the progress reporting is taking up way too much resources

• broadcasts could be ordered or synced to ensure state

• the broadcasts to update progress should not contain db writes for a simple progress value

• the UI display refreshes are either queued and cannot keep up or happening too fast

@ryjen @foundscapes I am facing issues while uploading files to IA. When the files are uploading, and I click on Edit, the upload freezes and doesn't get retried from the Edit queue. When I retry from the home screen, it gets retried. Attaching video for reference

@vanichitkara thank you,definately having trouble reproducing this one...

Does it happen consistently? Or does it vary?

EDIT: Ok I got the crash at least..... resolving....

[vanichitkara]

[foundscapes]

@vanichitkara can you retest this since we updated the IA? it may be resolved, ty!
