Expanded Mode issues - Devvit version 0.12.19

I'm trying to transition my game from using the Blocks renderer to DevvitWeb, and running into an issue I can't seem to find a solution to - spent a few hours debugging it. I'm hitting two related issues on the mobile Reddit app:

  1. The first (inline height: "tall" rendering short) is already tracked in this issue.
  2. The second is that requestExpandedMode doesn't actually expand the post on mobile, even though the entry parameter is respected.

I'm on Devvit 0.12.19. The game basically never visually transitions to expanded mode. The game renders inside the ~350px inline box instead of the fullscreen modal and this gives it a lot less real-estate for users to play comfortably.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong / what else I could try in the meantime?
