Thread: uploading images fails in Safari on iOS7 on iPhone 5

uploading images fails in Safari on iOS7 on iPhone 5

I had an opportunity to use someone's iPhone 5 today. It was running iOS7. I tested a ClassiPress site using 2 browsers: the built-in Safari browser; and the downloaded Chrome browser. Both exhibited issues. This post is about the Safari browser.

I tried posting a new ad. Using the "Flash" uploader, when I clicked the "Add Image" button, the device launched the camera, I took a photo with it, and ClassiPress uploaded it and displayed the thumbnail image. So far so good. However, after I clicked "Confirm" to go to the next step of the ad posting process, I got an error page saying:

An Error Has Occurred

image.jpg is not a valid image type (.gif, .jpg, .png). Please go back and upload a different image.

("Go back" button)

I also tried uploading an image using the "Browser" uploader and I saw the same error page.

Questions:

1. Have any of you tested uploading photos on Safari on an iPhone 5 running iOS7?
2. Why do you think it failed in this case?

Test environment:

• Page: Add New (Step 1)
• Device: iPhone 5
• Operating System: iOS7
• Web Browser: Safari
• Other Details: HTTPS enabled on the page
• ClassiPress version: 3.3.1
• WordPress version: 3.7

I don't have access to the device on a regular basis.
