I'm temporarily removing the blocker label so I can deploy Web-Secure.

Just tested and I was able to go through the flow without issues. I'm gonna remove the blocker label.

It seems like the Onfido sdk might throw an error after many failed attempts to take a photo of a screen (as shown in the video), which might be the cause of the bug seen here. I'll open this to the community to investigate further.

I actually think that this can be closed
