Proposal

I personally don't think this is a deploy blocker because this seems a lack from personalDetails refactor.

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Avatar is not loading when opening a 'share code' link

What is the root cause of that problem?

We only compare the login from the share url with our local personalDetails accounts. If we couldn't find it, we added fallback icon, which showed in this issue.

App/src/pages/DetailsPage.js

Lines 94 to 109 in bee8fd3

	if (!details) {
	// TODO: these personal details aren't in my local test account but are in
	// my staging account, i wonder why!
	if (login === CONST.EMAIL.CONCIERGE) {
	details = {
	accountID: CONST.ACCOUNT_ID.CONCIERGE,
	login,
	displayName: 'Concierge',
	avatar: UserUtils.getDefaultAvatar(CONST.ACCOUNT_ID.CONCIERGE),
	};
	} else {
	details = {
	accountID: -1,
	login,
	displayName: login,
	avatar: UserUtils.getDefaultAvatar(),

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Since we already implemented new UserDetail page (/a route). We should also migrate our ShareUrl page to use it. Because right now, we still using the login instead of accountID.
So we should change the way we generate share url inside ShareCodePage to use accountID

// we should use accountID instead of login and use the route /a for personal detail
 const url = isReport ? `${CONST.NEW_EXPENSIFY_URL}r/${this.props.report.reportID}` : `${CONST.NEW_EXPENSIFY_URL}a/${this.props.session.accountID}`;
