This is a prototype of this screen, so asking mostly about high-level feedback.

Accepting to unblock, but the style of the box looks a bit inconsistent with the design language we're using here.

It's left-aligned, so it's maybe a bit less awkward than the box in D14064. But overall, these boxes with curved borders feel a little out-of-place.

This is how this screen looks like without the borders and with a consistent text style:

I think the consistency is improved, but three notes:

• The styling of the three fields looks strange. It's not clear to me if the values there should be updating, and I feel like the spacing should be improved. Do we want bullet points here?
• The spinner feels like some content is loading. I think we should show something a little different, that conveys more than an operation is proceeding. Is there something like a progress bar we can use here? What do other apps do for this?
• What are "backup details"?

The backup details is a header for the two fields that are displayed. Based on the discussion from https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-9680/create-a-restoration-screen it seems like getting the size might take some time, so if we decide to support only the timestamp for now, we shouldn't display the backup details header and the bullet points.

Going to do some research about it.

We're using a library https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-progress for displaying the multimedia upload progress, and we can consider using it here. I updated the diff with one of the options, but the NPM page presents some alternatives.

Looks okay. Would be nice to be able to show progress, but I recognize we'll probably need to wait on backup size calculation for that.

Having the size is only one part of this. If we had it, we would be able to show the downloading progress, but then there are two more steps: decrypting and restoring - for these, showing an actual progress could be a lot more challenging. Regardless, without user data backup, showing the progress isn't too useful - with just the keys, the operation shouldn't take too much time.
