Very strange error in IDE when building a mobile app

I just started to receive this strange error which is preventing me from building my mobile app. I cannot figure out what is happening. At first it started to happen on a mobile app that I recently created by importing the json zip from the original project. But now it is appearing in the original project when no changes have been made to the original project. The error pops up when I attempt to either select a component and then go to the queries section in the ide or when I have selected a query on the left panel and then go to the workspace and select a component.

Same here

I can now confirm that all of my mobile apps are exhibiting this behavior. It is making it impossible to do any work on a mobile app as any time I select a component or query it forces a reload of the browser page.

Hi @neilb and @Bryan_Mitchiner, I'm reaching out from Retool Support to let you know that our engineering team has put out a fix for this issue as of 9:45 AM Pacific Time (4:45 PM UTC). Can you confirm that you're no longer seeing this error on the Mobile App editor side panel?
