See video for example. Image size was not the issue.

Could you share this app please, tell us where that screen is, and the images that fail to upload?

@mark, I have the same sort of issue for a “Project list” app:  
1- **form** to create a Project: detail of the project + image picker -\> works ok for the 1st upload, but if delete the image to upload another one, it doesn’t work (the window to select the image opens, but the upload doesn’t run)  
2- **edit** the Project: cannot upload image via the image picker  
nb: cannot share the app, but video below

Mark, sorry for late reply. This happens to me regularly in GDE. Haven’t uploaded much in the app on my phone yet but still an issue for app maker while building. Images were compressed so not a size issue and as you can see from Video, image wasn’t corrupt-eventually loaded after I switched to different image, deleted and retried the one that would not load. Hope that helps. I only report after an issue repeats at least twice if not more. This happens to me at least once a day. Thanks!

I haven’t been putting images in my app lately so I am not sure! I can just update here if it happens again. 😊

Hi @Mark, I have the issue when using my phone, I can pick the image, it loads for a bit and then the image “disappears” and I have to select it again. Here’s the app: [www.app.ridetitude.com](http://www.app.ridetitude.com)

We’re shipping changes today that should fix that.

Has this bug been fixed? I have a couple users that are saying they can’t upload images on their phone. Some can, some can’t. Some said they couldn’t yesterday (3/17/21) and can today.

We had a separate issue with the Image and File Pickers, but they were fixed yesterday. Do you still see issues with it?

I’ll check with my users. But as far as I can tell one is able to upload through the image picker starting today. Must have fixed it!

I’m getting this error now. I can delete an image on mobile device using the picker but when I select an image to upload nothing happens.

The picker works fine in the Glide data editor/ layout view.
