WordPress app for iOS: Facebook Messenger sharing via the Share Sheet results in invisible "Cancel" and "Send" options

iOS 13.3
WordPress app for iOS (version 13.9)
Date: 01/24/2020

Description:

A minor bug has just started happening with the WordPress iOS app and Facebook Messenger sharing of WordPress posts using the Messenger sharing option accessible via the Share Sheet.

The "Cancel" and "Done" buttons no longer appear if you are sharing a URL.

Take a look at this screenshot:

I am guessing that Facebook has made some sort of revisions to the Messenger SDK, as I am seeing this with many apps. Not very user friendly!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the WordPress app for iOS
2. Post something
3. Select "View Site"
4. Visit a post (a url) and select the share option
5. Select Facebook Messenger from the Share Sheet

Result: Sharing a WordPress URL using the Facebook Messenger option from the Share Sheet has a problem - users can't see the "Cancel" or "Send" options

Expected: Sharing a WordPress URL using the Facebook Messenger option from the Share Sheet should always result in visible "Cancel" and "Send" options

Open the WordPress app...

Select the "View Site" option...

Select the Share option...

Select the Messenger option...

No "Cancel" or "Send" is visible - even if the user designates someone to send it to...

iOS 13.3: Mail App: App crashes after select "More" from Sharesheet when sharing

iOS 13.3
Mail App for iOS
Date: 01/23/2020

Description:

As people have been discussing on Twitter, there is an easy to reproduce crash with the current version of the Mail App for iOS.

If you download either an .xlsx or a .csv file from the Mail app, and then select the "More" option from the Sharesheet UI.

Here's a photo of the crash dump:

This crash has been discussed on Twitter:

I've tried with .csv and .xlsx files from email. I've had a couple of users of my app report the same. pic.twitter.com/Jg7wD8PQyq

— Darren Jones (@venderbase) January 22, 2020

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Mail App in iOS
2. Open an email that has an .xlsx file attached to it
3. Download the file
4. While viewing the file, select the share option in the upper right
5. From the share sheet, scroll through the apps and select "More"

Result: The Mail App for iOS crashes if the user downloads either a .csv or an .xlsx file and then selects "More" from the sharesheet

Expected: The Mail App for iOS should not crash after the user downloads either a .csv for an .xlsx file and then selects "More" from the sharesheet menu

Download an .xlsx file from an email message...

Select the share option...

From the Share Sheet, scroll the icons over to reach "More"...

Selecting the "More" option crashes the iOS Mail app.

Abercrombie and Fitch app for iOS: Error Messaging "PDP_PopinsSelectorStore_SearchError" is displayed after searching for stores using valid zip codes

iOS 13.3
Abercrombie and Fitch app for iOS (version 5.6.0)
Date: 01/20/2020

Please Note: This is about the text of an ERROR MESSAGE. This is not about functionality.

Description:

There is a less than friendly error message that is presented to me when I search for stores using valid zip codes. I keep seeing an error string that displays as: "PDP_PopinsSelectorStore_SearchError".

Here's a screenshot of the error message:

This error message appeared after searching for valid zip codes (such as "98105" and "98107") in the United States. This error message also appeared after running null searches. Please change the text of this error message.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Abercrombie and Fitch app for iOS
2. Select "Account"
3. Select "Store Locator"
4, Enter in, and search for, a valid zip code number (such as "98105")
5. Note the error message of "PDP_PopinselectorStore_SearchError"

Result: A non-user friendly error message of "PDP_PopinsSelectorStore_SearchError" is presented when I search for a valid zip code in the "Store Locator" section of the Abercrombie and Fitch app for iOS

Expected: That a more user friendly error message will be used instead of: "PDP_PopinsSelectorStore_SearchError"

Select the "Store Locator" option...

Run a search for a valid zip code.

CollegeBacker app for iOS: App crashes if you select the "Video" option from the profile picture area

iOS 13.3
CollegeBacker app for iOS (version 1.1.4)
Date: 01/17/2020

Description:

There is a crash with the CollegeBacker app for iOS. There is an option to upload a profile photo. When the user activates this, and the camera is activated, there is an unexpected "video" option.

Selecting this "video" option crashes the app.

Here's a message from the crash dump....

It says: "This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. Te app's info.plist must contain an NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data."

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the CollegeBacker app for iOS
2. Create an account
3. Go to upload a profile photo
4. Select the "VIDEO" option

Result: The CollegeBacker app for iOS (version 1.1.4) crashes if the user selects the "VIDEO" option in the profile picture camera prompt

Expected: There shouldn't be a "VIDEO" option here - nor should the app crash when it is selected

Please take a look at some attached screenshots:

Select the profile picture option...

Select "Take Photos or Video"....

Select the "VIDEO" option - the app will crash.

RealSelf app for iOS: Opening up the iOS files app results in two Cancel options in search box

iOS 13.3
RealSelf app for iOS (version 6.2.2)
Date: 01/14/2020

Description:

Here's an odd one! This app happens when the RealSelf app opens up the iOS Files option to select a profile photo. This is not a very likely bug that anyone will encounter. Still, this little problem is the only time that I have ever seen this happen when opening up the Files app on iOS.

I'm tempted to believe that this is because the RealSelf app is doing something incorrectly when calling up the Files app.

This is easy to show - take a look:

This is the search of the Files app that is accessible via the RealSelf app. You have to look closely, but if you do, you will see that the "Cancel" option is duplicated. The usual, correct one, is on the right. A second, non-working one, appears inside of the search box, next to the microphone.

As a point of comparison, let's take a look at Rover, which has a similar entry into the Files app for uploading profile photos of prospective dog sitters:

Cancel button is not duplicated. If you click inside the search box...

The cancel button assumes the correct location to the right of the search input box and the microphone icon.

I've played around with a lot of apps, and i've always taken a glance at how (and wondered why) profile picture searches would need to call up the Files app for a photo. In all that time, i've never seen a bug with this behavior until now.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the RealSelf app - create an account
2. Select "Me"
3. Select the settings gearbox icon in the upper right
4. From the "Settings" page select "Edit Your Profile"
5. Select the "Choose File" option under "Enhance your profile with a photo"
6. Select "Browse" to call up the Files app
7. Note the duplicated "Cancel" button

Result: Calling up the Files app UI from settings option inside of the RealSelf app results in a page where the "Cancel" button near the search input box is duplicated - appears to be unique to RealSelf

Expected: The "Cancel" button in the Files app UI accessible from the Settings portion of the RealSelf iOS should not be duplicated

Please see the attached screenshots.

From inside the RealSelf app, select the "Me" option and then select the gearbox icon in the upper right...

Select the "Edit Your Profile" option...

Select the "Choose File" button...

Select the "Browse" option...

Note the "Cancel" option is duplicated, with the white lettered Cancel option doing nothing - pressing it actually activates the microphone...

Unusual! Not sure if this is RealSelf's problem (which I suspect) or a problem with the Files app

Massimo Dutti app for iOS: The word "null" appears when sharing Massimo Dutti apps on Facebook

iOS 13.3
Massimo Dutti app for iOS (version 9.16.0)
Date: 01/12/2020

Description:

There is a minor bug with sharing items from the Massimo Dutti app to Facebook. When the user shares an item listed in the app to Facebook, the auto-generated description of the product displays the word "null" in the Facebook post.

Take a look at these screenshots:

Shouldn't ever be displaying the word "null" when sharing something from an iOS app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Massimo Dutti app for iOS
2. Share a product via the Share Sheet to Facebook
3. Note the word "null" appears

Result: The word "null" appears when sharing a product from the Massimo Dutti app to Facebook

Expected: The word "null" should never appear when sharing a product from inside the Massimo Dutti app to Facebook

Kindle app for iOS: The Open in Kindle dialog in Mobile Safari doesn't take the user to Kindle app - but to the app store!

iOS 13.3
Kindle App for iOS (version 6.26)
Date: 01/09/2010

Description:

I've repeatedly run into the variations of this bug. After doing some searches on social media, I was surprised to learn I wasn't the only one who has been confounded by this issue. Take a look at this thread, this is exactly the problem I have been running into repeatedly:

I have 200GB of space free on my iPhone, and I use the Kindle app most days, but for some reason every time I buy a Kindle book in Safari and tap "go to Kindle" it takes me to the App Store and I have to re-download the Kindle app. I presume this is a bug in app offloading?

— Nick Lockwood (@nicklockwood) November 15, 2019

If a user buys a book an e-book from Amazon using mobile safari, a "Read Now" button, along with a prompt to open in Kindle, doesn't actually open the Kindle app. Instead, it drops the user in the app store listing for the Kindle iOS app. I know that Apple prohibited directly buying content from Amazon from within the Kindle iOS app, but why would being taken directly to the app be prohibited? Seems like something is wrong here.

This sums it up pretty well!

It's hard to imagine how a bug in URL routing could make the App Store think an app isn't installed, but with today's Apple who knows...

— Nick Lockwood (@nicklockwood) November 16, 2019

I snagged a video of the problem today:

I agree. Very aggravating! .@AmazonKindle .@Werner Is this a requirement from Apple? Couldn’t they throw up the banner after pressing the button to take directly into the app? .@AppleSupport pic.twitter.com/zNf5AbYYRt

— Random iOS Bugs (@RandomiOSBugs) January 9, 2020

There are a couple of ways to get this problem to continually reproduce. Here's the easiest:

1. Using Mobile Safari, buy an ebook off of Amazon
2. Bookmark the page
3. Go back to the purchase page
4. Click on "Read Now"
5. From the "Open in "Kindle"" prompt, select "Yes"

Result: An "Open in "Kindle"" prompt does not take the user into the Kindle iOS app when selected. Dumps user in App Store

Expected: Affirmatively selecting "Yes" to an open in Kindle prompt should take the user inside of the Kindle iOS app - not to the App store listing

Go to a bookmarked mobile Safari page from a purchased e-book. Select "Read Now"...

Select the "Open" option...

Taken to the App Store listing?

Kindle app for iOS: Share Sheet: Icons for Facebook and Goodreads not displaying

iOS 13.3
Kindle app for iOS (version 6.26)
Date: 01/09/2020

Description:

Minor problem with the Kindle app for iOS and the share sheet that the iOS uses. Two icons, the one for Facebook and the one for Goodreads, simply don't appear in the list of apps in the share sheet. The icons (the images of the Facebook and Goodreads logos) are blank.

This still reproduced after updating the app to 6.26. This continued to reproduce after deleting the re-downloading the app.

Here's an image of what I am seeing....

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Kindle app for iOS - log into your account
2. Head to any book, hit the recommend button to bring up the Share Sheet
3. Scroll down and look at Goodreads and Facebook, listed in the "Suggested app" portion

Result: No icons/images for either Goodreads or Facebook when they are listed in the "Suggestions" or "Favorites" apps inside the share sheet menu option used by the Kindle app for iOS

Expected: The Goodreads and Facebook icons should always display in the "Suggestions" and "Favorites" section of the share sheet displayed by the Kindle app for iOS

Click the share option to bring up the share sheet - this reproduced on older version of the app, and with 6.26...

Click on the "More" option to bring up the lists of apps displayed under "Favorites" and "Suggestions"

Scroll down, and look for "Facebook" and "Goodreads" under suggestions...

No icons/images display next to "Goodreads" or "Facebook"
