What happened?

A iOS user gets a weird message when trying to upload a file

Anything else?

I can't access the menus in Monal/iOS as I am not an appler, but from a server operator point of view all necessary XEPs should be supported and my iOS user didn't had this issue before.

Did this user try to upload the same file previously? Maybe a failed upload?

He said he tried several time but it didn't work and sent me a screenshot with that error, so it seems so. But what's the reason to block new uploads if an upload failed (due to a network hiccup or whatever)? Am 1. Mai 2024 19:49:28 UTC schrieb Thilo Molitor ***@***.***>:

None, that would be a bug. But for fixing it, it would be good to know if that "already uploading" error only popped up after another upload error for that file happened or not.

I need a logfile for that error, looking at the code that one should never pop up but could be a hint that a temporary file path is empty or somesuch.
Please send the compressed logfile via email to info@monal-im.org
Extracting the logfile is described here: https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/wiki/Introduction-to-Monal-Logging

Today I was able to get my wifes iPhone in my hands and enabled Monal (usually she uses Snikket iOS) and also got this error message when uploading a file. I hope that I find the time to get debug logs during the weekend.

[tmolitor-stud-tu]

Okay, great. But the fix won't make it into the new 6.3.1 I'll release before the weekend.

[mdosch]

Dear Thilo, I sent you a log. Hopefully it's useful. Best regards, Martin

Apparently the upload progress wasn't displayed when sharing something through the share sheet. That made it difficult to determine if the file upload was still in progress.

I fixed this in my latest commit, so your error should be gone now (with the next stable release).
I'll close this, reopen it, if this still persists.
