iOS Quick Export of PSD returning cached image, not accounting for updated file.

Seems to just spit out the last cached version without checking if it was invalidated.

Repro steps:
- Have PSD file freshly synced to Creative Cloud.
- Open the Creative Cloud iOS app
- Do a "Quick Export" of the PSD, Save to Images. Don't close the app.
- Make some visible change to the file in Photoshop, on Windows 10. Sync.
- Notice that the Preview has updated as expected in the app.
- Do another Quick Export, Save to Images.
- Notice that it returns immediately, giving the last export given instead of a new export reflecting the change you just made.

Expected Result: Second export has expected changes.

Actual Result: Second export is the same as first export, no time taken.

Using latest Creative Cloud iOS and desktop apps, Windows 10 v1903, latest Photoshop. iOS v 13.2.2, iPhone 6s.

EDIT: Turns out the Quick Export wouldn't update even after shutting down and re-opening the app. I had to sign out and back in, and that allowed it to update. Also, it's worth mentioning that every time I Quick Export, it hangs partway through, and I have to stop it and re-export, then it finishes immediately. Really strange behavior all around...
