FabSwingers.com forum: iOS8 photo uploads broken

There is a bug in Safari Browser which has broken web uploads. This is on all sites, not just Fab. There is currently no work around that we can put in place.

We'd expect apple to fix it in an upcoming update. We'd advise NOT updating to ios8 if you've not already done so.

Workarounds you can do:

1. Use Google chrome from the apple app store. This still works OK.

2. Email the photos in to us. This still works OK.

The ios8 upload bug affects all websites that use web based upload.

No doubt they'll have made a note of the bug you've reported and tell everyone from now on they've had one report?

They are probably scripted/trained to never admit bugs until they're fixed in an update.

There's a reasonable list of bugs here:

Rumour is 8.0.1 is going to be released towards the end of Sept. We've not gotten our hands on it so can't tell if the Safari upload bug is fixed.

Found this problem yesterday when trying to upload from iPad to Google Drive.

Seems only to affect photos from the "Recently Added" folder on your device.

Managed to work round it by creating a new folder and copying the pics into that. They then uploaded no problem.

Don't know if this will work for FAB uploads though.

The 8.0.1 fixed this but broke loads of other stuff so Apple pulled it. 8.0.2 is expected shortly, will fix the upload issue according to Apple.

Apple has fixed this and other bugs in iOS 8.0.2 which is available now.

Goto "Settings" - "General" - "Software Update" on your device, to update.
