[iOS] The loading indicator overlaps “Shift due dates” button

Sometimes, if the Internet connection is slow, the loading indicator overlaps “Shift due dates” button: needs to open any course with “Shift due dates” button with a slow Internet connection. Can be repeated only on iPhone

@sdaitzman Do you have any design considerations for this issue? Multiple buttons, similar to those shown in the screenshot, could be included. This loading indicator operates at the application level and is displayed during processing or API call.

Hey @shafqat-muneer, thanks for reaching out about this! I don't have any major design considerations for the loader aside from supporting moving its position so it does not overlap content.

When the "shift due dates" CTA is presented, I think the "Resume" CTA should be switched to a secondary style if possible so we only show the user one clear recommended next step, but still allow them to continue with content without shifting due dates if they prefer. I updated the Figma file to make sure that state is represented, and I'm attaching a screenshot here as well. This could fall under a separate ticket, just wanted to mention it since it relates to this view/state.

hey @sdaitzman, in the legacy apps we have implemented the Resume/Continue button to be secondary regardless of any other CTA on the screen because there are certain cases where other CTAs are presented on the screen such as the upgrade button or the shift due dates button.
Wouldn't it be a better approach to standardize the resume course button rather changing it based on certain cases? This might even add code complexity.

Hi @moiz994, was running through old threads and realized I never replied here. I completely agree the CTA hierarchy on this screen is a bit messy right now between CTAs that were added from different teams, causing code complexity and usability issues. After the conference coming up, I'm hoping to spend some time documenting the current behavior and proposing a more consistent hierarchy for CTAs on the dashboard and course home.

Personally, I think it's worth promoting the course resume button to this primary status by default since it's the most likely action on this screen, and one we want to encourage. I'm open to trying out a variant with a secondary resume button.

Sure, that sounds good. Let's brainstorm after the conference!
