LGTM

PD: We do not need to use ActivityIndicator here, right? I haven't tested in different iOS or devices but I see this was a wrapper meant for handling <iOS13 cases, but we could use just ProgressView at this point. Happy to open a task in linear to get rid of all its instances as backlog.

@iamgabrielma, excellent observation, we definitely should!
