[BUG] Cannot add more than three images to a post at once

[jackharro]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the issues (both open and closed)

Current Behavior

When adding multiple GIFs and images, in this case 2 GIFs and 1 image, the images are stuck loading. When I remove the GIFs and images, the post UI is unresponsive.

Expected Behavior

I can upload multiple GIFs and images using the native iOS UI without a workaround.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Make two GIFs from multiple PNG images from the iPad camera using Shortcuts with 2 seconds for each photo or use the example images
2. Try to add both GIFs and a photo at once to a post with text in it

Environment

- Device: iPad Pro 10.5"
- OS: 16.6.1
- Version: 2024.5
- Build: 6368

Anything else?

A workaround is to upload each image separately with no text in the post, then write the text. I haven't tested the limits of this workaround: does it work with text present? Does it work with no text present and multiple GIFs? What about one GIF and a photo? I'll test these in follow up posts.

Attatched are sample images that I used.

№ GIFs	№ images	Text?	Result
1	0	True	Upload completes
2	0	True	Upload completes
2	1	True	UI dies
2	1	False	UI dies
1	1	False	Upload completes
1	2	False	UI dies
0	3	False	UI dies

Verdict: we should rename the issue to ’Cannot add more than three images to a post at once‘. I couldn't find this issue already.

The app freezes with me only adding 1 image from an Akkoma.
