Android App suddenly can't access images from Camera

My understanding is that changes to Android OS have no longer made it possible for us to import GPS data when a photo is shared to iNat, unfortunately.

I was able to upload all my Observations from yesterday through the app. Sharing from Gallery also started working; location metadata started working again, for some reason.

Does your gallery app back up photos into the cloud and remove full-sized versions from the device?

Everything is kept full-size on my phone until I offload or delete it. I rarely upload uncropped images to iNaturalist, anyway. To start, most of my subjects are too small. Second, I’ve learned the hard way that the app sometimes deletes, or destroys without deleting, the images I share; this happened qwith several of the images I shared yesterday. It seems to happen when there is any interruption in the upload whatsoever. It’s extremely brittle in this way. So I never share the original in iNaturalist, for fear of losing it forever.

I’ve let our Android developer know and they’re wondering if you can now try builds 435 and 436 and see if it works for those as well.

I will try the two builds and see if there are any noticeable differences in behavior.
