Where the current event icon should be, I instead have a green James Webb icon with a loading animation. Nothing happens when I tap it. The event is still accessible through the “select simulation” menu, but I can't claim my rewards. It's been like this since the end of the Human Body event. In both that and the Visual Art event, I reached challenge level 3 before the event ended.
#Unable to claim Exploration rewards due to permanent green loading icon to claim prizes

Screenshot above is from Android version 26_37 on a Google Pixel 6. I checked for updates multiple times since the bug first popped up. Checked again after posting this and got an update which was apparently released 10 days ago, although it was not available to me for unknown reasons. I now have 26_57 and the problem persists.
@nimble sky same problem as #1252762425116332132
what you can try is repeatedly downloading the cloud save, even when it's the exact same one as the one you already have
if that doesn't help, aditya should be able to help
I have no idea how to “download the cloud save”, there is no such option in any of the menus (that I can find).
did it happen again for you ?
You can find our cloud save options inside the "Game Transfer" menu
and let me know if the issue hasnt been resolved yet
haven't checked myself just yet
I don't have an account and I don't think I should be required to create one just to work around your bug.
It has not.
that one is simply what i found to have worked for me, I don't know if it's the only way to fix it
okay, so it happened again, i will now see if the previous solution works for me again
and i got jumpscared by the new menu
yea it did work again
this time after just one save redownload
Its not a requirement, we're still trying to figure out the cause for the bug so I just wanted to see if the same thing worked for others.
Please do DM me your rank in the last event and your player ID from the bottom of the right hand menu, I'll give you your rewards
Interesting, can you DM me your email that you used for the game transfer ? we'll take a look at the save to see if we can figure out the issue
yea sure
Unable to claim Exploration rewards due to permanent green loading icon to claim prizes
This has been added to our bug tracking system as the issue CELL-2943. As we resolve that issue, updates will be posted back here.
@candid sierra just to confirm, you had the loading animation stay until the end right ? Did you by any chance also get a popup show "Rank #0" ?
cc @blissful moat as well ☝️
didn't get any rank pop up, and the loading animation was there until the save redownload alleviated the issue, similarly to last time
Thank you for the clarification
no popup, just a permanent loading animation, and note that the icon shown is for the JWST event, not for the Human Body or Visual Art events, which are the ones I've completed but not received rewards for
Hi I have the same issue. And is the same the icon is from the James Web Telescope event. And I already tried loading the cloud save and nothing.
Hey please DM me your player ID and your rank in the last event
you might have to do it multiple times
I did it several times
Still the same issue
I have had this same issue for the last three events now on PC (including the Cat event).
try redownloading the save file multiple times (upload the current one to the cloud and just keep downloading it)
same issue here
.
if it doesn't help, aditya will give you the rewards
ive read what you said but my wifi connection is pretty bad rn due to me being in a vacation
ill try i guess
how many is multiple in this case? i've redownloaded like at least 10 times now and nothing's happened
when it worked for me it took me like 10 times i guess
no one really knows why this bug happens, and no one knows as well why redownloading the save fixed it
darn
it just worked for me 
it worked twice, so it's not a one time thing
i found the fix on complete accident
Hey @everyone this bug is fixed on the latest version, do let me know if you guys are still facing issues with rewards from leaderboards
haven't seen it on any of the recent events so it seems to be good for me
I can confirm that the exploration button now works correctly, but I haven't received any rewards for the last few events.
