Deployer verifications:

• I checked Sentry for this release version and verified that this release does not introduce any new crashes. More detailed instructions on this verification can be found here.
• I checked Sentry for the previous release version and verified that the release did not introduce any new crashes. Because mobile deploys use a phased rollout, completing this checklist will deploy the previous release version to 100% of users. More detailed instructions on this verification can be found here.
• I checked GitHub Status and verified there is no reported incident with Actions.

@m-natarajan fixed the issue.. were there any issues where the deploy blocker label wasn't added on your end? Or was the issue only that the blockers weren't being added to the checklist?
