When you try to upload a file the app crashes and the camara roll dont load images
Hi Omar, unfortunately this report is not very useful because it does not describe the problem well. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem, please read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and add a more useful description to this report by providing system information and exact steps to reproduce.
I am using iPad IOS7. I installed version 1.0.10 of the Commons app about a week. I log in OK, I see a display of images that I have uploaded in the past. there is a icon lower centre that suggests I can add images. I click it. I now see two icons, Camera and Albums. I click on Albums. I now get a black screen with only a title bar with a left arrow, the word Album and the word Cancel. after a few seconds, the app crashes without any error messages and I am returned to the home screen. I do have photo albums on my ipad with assorted photos. I have not succeeded in uploading any photos due to this bug.
Re previous message. The images I have uploaded in the past were uploaded via WWW interface from my PC. I have not managed to upload anything from my iPad.
Omar: Is this still a problem in recent versions?
Yes, it appears so. I got out my iPad, made sure I had installed all updates according to to the app store, and then tried the Commons app again. I checked the version number and it is 1.0.10. Exactly the same as before. After I click to go to my Albums, I get the mostly black screen with the Albums title for about 10-12 seconds, then it crashes. I don't know if it might be relevant but I do have a lot of photos on my iPad. According to the iPad, I am using 23.0G of data for "Photos & Camera" (most of which are photos uploaded from my digital camera rather than taken with the iPad).
Since I notice this is the same version number as the one I originally installed, and since I have done all the app store updates (so my iPad should be fully up-to-date for all my apps), I am not sure what to make of the question about being a problem in recent versions. So I went onto the app store and checked the version there. It is indeed 1.0.10 and was last updated in Oct 2013, so there have NOT been any new versions available for download on the App Store. What version do you think I should have?
As the Mobile Apps Team is focussing on the new, native Wikipedia app, the Commons app is no longer being maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. I am WONTFIXing all open Commons app bugs to reflect that we will not be spending time fixing them.
