Platform : iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18.0
App version number: 1.0.2 (161)
Opening the app for the first time, prompted to use the camera to identify a species. AI attemptsj to make an identification (even though camera is not pointed at anything organic yet) and a few attempts are displayed at the top. After a few moments of the camera attempting to focus and sometimes automatically switching lenses staying at 1x zoom the error message is displayed and briefly freezes the app. The error message continues to appear over and over periodically if nothing is done and briefly freeze the app regardless if the “Ok” option is selected to close the error message each time.
However, using the zoom control button to change the zoom level to 0.5x or to 3x avoids the problem completely. Even with the error message up the app seemingly continues to work behind it.
