Bug in Safari/Chrome iOS

[AlexNodex]

I have found a very very strange bug in Safari and Chrome on iPad, iPhone and Simulator (Xcode)

On certain photo's (in my case it was photo's from an older iOS pre-update) the uploader will not let me choose a file. By this I mean that it will open the "choose files from "Take photo" and "Photo Library" but as soon as I choose (certain) photo's it fails.

This is where it gets strange. On the same devices it will allow me quite easily to upload other photos that are in the same "Photo library" - the difference being that they're newer images and not pre iOS update.

I have reproduced this on the Xcode simulator and it raises some interesting logs.

What's the most interesting is the following line
Jul 11 12:33:03 Alexs-MacBook-Pro com.apple.UIKit.fileprovider.default[1319]: Failed to inherit CoreMedia permissions from 1313: (null)

Which talks about permissions. I am perpelxed at what would cause this and how to go about fixing it. I have tried showing (removing the opacity of the button) and other fixes but nothing works.

Futher adding to this.

I have debugged some more and I get a "File extension error". It only happens on "image.jpeg" not "image.jpg" or "image.png". I've even set the filter to accept only "jpeg" and "*" but still no avail.

On OSX safari9.0 upload file can not select!!

Still not sure about iOS bug (having trouble to replicate it), however @zhongtianxie your issue seems unrelated. Please open separate ticket and provide more information, since in general Plupload works ok in Safari 9.x on Mac OS X.

We now have a playground here: http://play.plupload.com/. So you can provide an exact code there to replicate your problem.

I think the problem is here. It tries to detect the Browser and on iOS the Browser would be Mobile Safari but this does not match in this check function here: https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload/blob/master/js/moxie.js#L6134

summon_file_dialog: Test(function() { // yeah... some dirty sniffing here...
					return (Env.browser === 'Firefox' && Env.version >= 4) ||
						(Env.browser === 'Opera' && Env.version >= 12) ||
						(Env.browser === 'IE' && Env.version >= 10) ||
						!!~Basic.inArray(Env.browser, ['Chrome', 'Safari']);
				}()),

Basic.inArray seems to be an exact string check. This should be improved and modern mobile browser need to be added to it.

Edit: I'm not even sure this is the right Issue for it :P if not I can open another one

I'm having the same issue, where I cannot upload a photo from camera roll. I'll try to get back with more info.

If the cause for this is that issue that @wwwdata described, then it will be addressed in the bugfix release that is coming out on monday.
