Multiple images selection in gallery disabled in latest update, and photo metadata not being read

So this update (version 3.0) is slowly being rolled out in the App Store - it might be available to you, it might not.

Because it’s a major rewrite of the app, there are more crashes than usual, which is why we’re releasing it slowly. If you experience any issues, please file a bug report or add to an existing one, eg https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/ios-app-crashes/16178

One that I’m especially interested in is a bug where tapping Observe just turns the screen black. I can’t replicate this on my device, so any information you can provide would be helpful. We would need to know:

  • your device and which version of iOS it’s running.
  • if the black screen changes to something usable after a minute or two
  • which permissions you have given to iNaturalist (camera, photos, etc).

If you experience that bug, please don’t reply here, but start a new bug report. Thanks!
