Settings update profile pic caching issues

[i001962]

this feature works ok during first usage but if user wants to reset pfp in eg warcast the new pfp isn't shown in Footy app. Something is cached here & needs to be cleared.

I saw the issue and went ahead to fix it.

I looked into the problem where the new profile picture doesn’t show up in the Footy app after changing it on Warpcast. It works fine the first time or after logging out and logging back in, but after that, the old picture remains—even when "update profile" button is clicked—because it’s cached.

To fix this, I created a function called handleUpdatePFP that calls another function, updatePFP. The updatePFP function fetches the latest profile picture from Warpcast and adds a timestamp to the image URL to prevent caching. This ensures the app always shows the newest picture.

I also added a useEffect that listens for changes to the farcasterAccount. Whenever the account info changes, it fetches the latest profile picture URL from Warpcast’s API (https://api.warpcast.com/v2/user-by-fid?fid=${farcasterAccount.fid}) and updates the app state accordingly. This ensures the app always displays the current profile picture when the page first loads.

Attaching a short demo video below showing the fix in action. Let me know if you'd like me to open a PR

@austineblaise got for it!
this would be a big help
There are two issues here it seems thanks to the snapchain migration. One if the caching you are tacking & other is how we are calling the hub to write the new pfp to the profile. The later needs to be udeated to use Neynar
/HubService/SubmitMessage (i think)

I'd prefer we not call a warpcast api but to use neynar or a direct call to https://hub.merv.fun/v1/info or other open hub.
