Bug description

Signal is not handling pro raw images correctly. It is being treated like a file.

There seems to be some amount of time that passes, or a trigger that causes it to eventually work.

What I am suspecting is that iOS creates a thumbnail or cached version eventually, which signal is then able to pick up and process.

Also referenced in #4928 but that issue was closed with explanation.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable proraw mode on iPhone camera (requires a pro device)
2. Take a picture
3. Attempt to attach picture in signal chat

Actual result:

Attaches it like a file

Expected result:

Attach like a picture

Unable to replicate on iPhone 12 Pro. Attaching a RAW image (confirmed in Photos as RAW) results in a .jpeg file being added to the message.
Signal 5.44.0.10,

@darrengillman How are you attaching it to the conversation? Take a photo in raw mode then immediately try to attach it, without viewing it first.

I can still consistently replicate it.

It’s still an issue in the latest beta and should not be marked as stale.

Really cool how no devs commented on this issue at all, then it gets closed for inactivity.

[darrengillman]

Ok, can replicate the issue:
Steps

• phone into raw mode
• Take photo
• Close photos without viewing image
• Click + in signal to add attachment and select from presented images.

Note: This prev hadn’t worked. Photo library is not set to store originals on phone (don’t make a phone big enough) so I suspect it was moving the raw image to the cloud and holding a HEIC placeholder on the phone which was then being picked up by signal.

I still have the problem on iPhone 15 Pro.

@rapulum yeah this issue will not be fixed, let alone acknowledged unfortunately. I use an iOS shortcut to to convert to JPEGs in the share sheet, either that or use a more supported IM.
