To test:
- 13812 Create a new post, tap Publish, change the post date to something in the past or future, change the visibility, add tags, tap “Publish Now”.
- Test in portrait and landscape.
- Try to break the flow.
- Update More > Post Settings and verify the changes are reflected in the Publish bottom sheet.
- Change the publish date more than once.
- Change the publish date when the device timezone is set to something very different from the site timezone.
- Test from a WordPress.com site.
- Test from a Jetpack site.
- Test from a Self-hosted site.
- Verify all changes you make take effect once the post has been published.

- 13926 Go to My Site, select a site, verify the header title is “My Site”, select a different site, verify the header title stays as “My Site”.
- 13904 Log in using the “entering your site address” option from as many places you can find. Here are 3 examples:
- Log out, tap “Log in”, tap the “entering your site address” link text, confirm you are navigated to a screen that asks for the site address.
- Log out, tap “Log in”, tap “Continue with WordPress.com”, tap the “entering your site address” link text, confirm you are navigated to a screen that asks for the site address.
- Log in with any method, go to Switch Site > + > Add self-hosted site, confirm you are navigated to a screen that asks for the site address.
If you are able to complete the entire list above, please continue testing by looking at the related PRs targeting WordPress-iOS 14.7 and gutenberg-mobile 1.26. Test any that you are able to and that aren’t already represented above.
