restoring a backup does not restore deleted scans from that backup

Steps to reproduce: take some scans export a backup zip file delete a scan restore the backup Current behavior is that the deleted scan stays deleted. Users might expect to be able to recover deleted pages this way. There are a couple of options for handling this better. One is to prompt the user to ask if scans should be restored. This would trigger if there are scans marked as deleted in the app, that are not marked as deleted in the backup. The prompt asks the user if those scans should be restored, ideally with options for selectively restoring. The other option is to offer an "undelete" feature. That could go along with a "move to trash" strategy instead of immediately deleting. Restoring the backup gives you another change to undelete in case the undeletion window in the app has expired. The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require user action right at the restore point, which would work better with cloud sync which runs in the background.

repeated zoom is not centered on gesture

When zooming a page scan, the zoom transform is centered on the gesture, so you zoom in to the spot between your fingers. That's expected behavior. But if you zoom in, take your fingers of the screen, and zoom in further then the transform for the second zoom is not centered between your fingers.

button text is too dark in light mode

In light mode buttons show gray text on cyan buttons. I’m told the text is too dark, and makes it look like the button is disabled. Button text in dark mode looks fine.

expo-apple-authentication.signInAsync is not available on android

The error message above appeared with the message “Handwriting analysis failed” when attempting to scan pages on one user’s device. The Android app isn’t supposed to try to use the Apple authentication library, so it looks like some wires are crossed.

If you select the camera icon but then decide not to take a picture, there’s no way to escape without taking a picture except by closing and restarting the app
