Game state is lost in "over the board" mode after iOS app is suspended too long #2466

What is the problem?

Observed on iOS in Lichess v0.18.2.

If you start an over the board game, then suspend the app (e.g. lock your phone for some time or switch apps), after an hour or so when the app is resumed, it returns to the home screen and the game state is lost.

This seems to happen pretty consistently and I've observed it a few times now.

Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you!

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Start an "over the board" game
  2. Lock the screen or switch apps for a couple hours
  3. Return to lichess
  4. Game state is lost, app reloads at the home screen

App version

v0.18.2
