Notes

This is a handled error that was reported to Sentry through the CrashLogging component. I created this issue because it has affected 5 unique users and may break the user experience.

The code that reports the error has been there since 2020/2021, so there might be a change in the response structure. Since this comes from AtomicAuthenticationService, perhaps it's also possible that the site installed a plugin that modifies the cookie authentication logic or disabled the access to fetch auth cookies from their site.

Based on the Sentry breadcrumbs, it looks like the affected users were trying to view/preview their site by tapping on the site URL link in the My Site tab.
