#14135 (comment) - Quote with my answer/question:

Thus I created a draft PR, with an APK, that you can install in parallel: #14247 (comment)
@BluePixel4k can you test this?

Thanks a lot! Yes, it's working fine for me with this version 👍 But is it possible to enable the ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION already before the user grants the image and video permission? Because if a user doesn't grant the permission but shares a picture via his local gallery app to the Nextcloud app, the GPS information is missing.

Is this possible?

Some gallery apps themselves have settings for "safe sharing" which zeros the GPS information upon sharing. Xiaomi Poco gallery is one of them (needed to disable "share without location" for proper sharing to Nextcloud app), whereas Google Foto left GPS intact.

thanks @tobiasKaminsky
Do you intend to send a notification to users after the upgrade? In order to satisfy #14349: Inform users who don't open the app regularly and rely on automatic background backups.

In case any (not just a custom) auto upload folder pair is found: Users should be informed explicitly that past Auto uploads didn't run since 3.30.6 (probably some time in mid December) and future Auto uploads won't run unless the new permission is granted.
It can also be made more explicit that Auto uploads of files other than photos and videos remain broken, even after granting the new permissions.
I'll post a revised draft of this message here later.

Is there way or a plan to ensure that those missed Auto uploads are carried out after the Photo and video permission is granted?
In my tests those past, missed uploads are not picked up automatically after the permission is granted.

Whisprin · 2025-01-09T16:04:13Z

How about:

Re-enable Disrupted Auto Uploads

Please check manually for missing file uploads since mid-December.
To re-enable Auto Uploads for new photos and videos:

Grant "Photos and Videos" permission in the next dialog,
Grant "Location" permission to keep location data in uploaded photos.

To re-enable Auto Uploads for all other files:

Auto Uploads of other files are not possible anymore with the Play Store version of the Nextcloud app.

Auto Uploads stopped working because Google rejected the necessary file permission in a previous app update. Nextcloud is working with Google to rectify the situation and restore full functionality.

@tobiasKaminsky I am unable to view the storage and notification permissions. Only the Google Play warnings are appearing. Also, Codacy Static Code Analysis fails.

+        val notificationManager = context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
+        notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notificationBuilder.build())


To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the Intent used to create the PendingIntent is explicit. This can be done by setting the component name explicitly in the Intent. Additionally, we should verify that all other PendingIntent creations in the code follow the same practice.

Modify the Intent on line 210 to explicitly set the component name.

Ensure that the PendingIntent is created with the FLAG_IMMUTABLE flag to prevent modification by other applications.

@tobiasKaminsky How can you suppress this or maybe reduce the condition count?
