React-dropzone: iOS cannot support application/pdf and image/* MIME types even when specified

[x] I found a bug
What is the current behavior?
PDFs are grayed out / not selectable on iPhone devices even though accept="application/pdf,image/*" is specified. Works fine on android, desktop safari/chrome.

To reproduce, set accept to accept='image/*,application/pdf'.

"application/pdf,audio/*" works fine, so does "application/pdf" alone. "application/pdf, image/png" for example breaks. This appears to be a combination of pdf and image.

What is the expected behavior?
PDF should be selectable

Could be the same issue as https://github.com/react-dropzone/react-dropzone/issues/538 (closed as not reproducible)

@xuefanzhang I'm afraid that there is not much we can do on our side to fix this. As I explained in https://github.com/react-dropzone/react-dropzone/issues/653#issuecomment-429525418 and as @ilovett pointed out in his comment, this is a problem with inconsistent behaviour of file selection in mobile browsers as the accept property is proxied to the input directly.

I'm closing this, but feel free to reopen if you think you may have found a bug caused by this lib.
