Update Connection Assist for Android designs

Could you update the Connection Assist for Android designs so that:

• They use up to date components, styles and patterns from the current UI libraries.
• The text throughout matches what's currently used in Tor Browser Alpha for Desktop.
• The bottom sheet is removed.

And add the updated version to the Tor Browser 14.5 file, please?

@donuts would you say that the error in [1] is the same as in [2]?

No, these are actually different screens.

The screen on desktop isn't an error per se – it looks like Connection Assist has been triggered, but the user has gone back to the initial "Connect to Tor" stage using the breadcrumb navigation. This would be analogous to an Android user using the back arrow to return to the initial connection screen.

Whereas the screen on Android is for the no-internet error. You may be able to trigger this in Tor Browser Alpha by turning your wifi off, potentially?

I tried doing this, but didn't work. I'll try again, perhaps it works now.

Update: tried again, but torconnect doesn't leave the state shown in the screenshot below. Maybe I should wait longer?

@donuts just updated the connect assist screens for internet error and blockage of Tor. Could you pls take a look at the mockups and lmk if I missed any other screen?

Also, should I remove the "Restart Tor Browser" from the final error screen, considering tor-browser#43554?

Note: the screenshots will be removed once everything's ready.

It looks like this issue has been kicked down the road to Tor Browser 15.0, so we can leave the button as-is on Android for 14.5.

lmk if I missed any other screen?

The only thing I can think of is the extra location check that we perform before the final error. In the previous designs, this was called "location-check" and was different from "location-error". However I vaguely recall that @henry was considering eliminating this screen recently for desktop, and I'm not sure if it still exists on Android too?

tpo/applications/tor-browser!1426 (merged) leads me to suspect that this screen isn't present on Android?

It still exists. We're referring to it as ConfirmRegion. To see it you can set torbrowser.debug.censorship_level to 2 and then choose "Automatic" after the first normal bootstrap fails.

@clairehurst can maybe share a screenshot of what this ended up looking like on android after tpo/applications/tor-browser!1426 (merged).

Thanks @henry!

Yeah, let me get those real quick (doing a full rebuild, eta ~ 15 minutes. I didn't update the screenshots in that MR (which I'll also do now)

Thanks @clairehurst!

Thanks folks!

@donuts I just left some comments for you to check on the mockups.

Thanks @felicia! I've left some extra feedback for you in Figma too.

@donuts I forgot to mention here, but I've made some changes that need your review again.
