Breaking changes
This ...
They have a new api that lets photos be backed up in the background similar to how the photos app does with iCloud. But… Immich cannot use it because Apple say you have to hard code the URL. That doesn’t work for self hosting.
Ahahaha, nice. Loosely reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it’s good enough for us!
Why don’t they support Background Resource Upload PhotoKit API on iOS?
Nm: I know why now. Apple are such bitches.
What is it, restricted access? Am an Android user since 2008 and never had an iOS device so I’m clueless.

This could be worked around, in theory
How so?
By operating a relay? Then it wouldnt be 100% selfhost and be dependant on immich being accessible at all times.
Yes, exactly. But at least you can have an e2e encrypted relay as syncthing does.
This problem is similar to the one faced by Matrix on iOS, and they provide the notification service. All of your conclusions apply though.
And not eventually bought by some shady company.
That too.
If so Apple would reject the app from the App Store.
Is that why my partners phone won’t upload her photos… So annoying
No
I mean, couldn’t we just use a different camera app altogether?
Apple problems lol. And not even that.
Arent there even 3rd party camera tools? Or are they not permitted to use the whole hardware like Apple can?
There’s 3rd party camer apps. Apples actually pretty good about giving full camera access to apps.
The more you know.
Only got an iPad for free.
Though I have to say it’s pretty neat to have while cooking.
