Android app: observation duplicated 441x in app only

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Android 10 QKQ1.200512.002

App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): 1.23.16 (505)

Screenshots of what you are seeing (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/):

Not duplicated on the website: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/92893932
so priority of this bug is low.

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: Enter an observation with a photo, but do not confirm

Step 2: Wait an hour

Step 3: Observation gets duplicated 441 times

A part of the logs are sent. I cannot add all files because it exceeds the size of 25MB

Thanks. Signing out of the app and signing back in should fix this for now. We believe we’ve found the bug (should be a quite rare edge case) and will have a fix out in a future update.

How did you take a screenshot that big? (we’re curious)
