Wordpress-ios: Media Library: App spontaneously cycling through media items

Created on 17 Sep 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS

Expected behavior

Opening the a site's media library should display a grid of media items.

Actual behavior

Opening the a site's media library causes multiple screens to be pushed onto the stack (the app seems to cycle through each media item until it reaches the last item).

| Screen recording showing that upon navigating to the Media Library, the app starts cycling through the items in the library |

Steps to reproduce the behavior

This can only be reproduced using a app built using Xcode 12 (that is to say, using the iOS 14 SDK). It's not reproducible using a build made using Xcode 11, even if the app is running on a device with iOS 14 installed.

  • I've seen it on multiple WordPress.com account and on multiple WordPress.com sites
  • It's not 100% reproducible, sometimes I only see it on the 2nd or 3rd visit to the Media Library screen (that said, it's quite easy to reproduce for me)
  • I've only tested on one iOS device
Tested on iPhone 11, iOS 14, WPiOS 15.7 (or https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/commit/e37dce417fb7ca59cd2aaeb5014fee5b76974c94, as noted in the comments below)

I suffer from this with the current 16.3 app in the app store. Makes the app unusable for me without the ability to add media.

I'm currently unable to reproduce this one... do you literally just open Media and then tap an item in the library?

I wasn't able to reproduce again on the Test Flight 15.7 build (strangely enough), but then I compiled from Xcode 12 using the following commit and was able to get it working: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/commit/e37dce417fb7ca59cd2aaeb5014fee5b76974c94

@frosty yes, although today I could only reproduce building from Xcode 12 (not when using the Test Flight build, see comment above). I've also added a screen recording to the issue.
