Ios camera upload stopped working [seafile 6.2.3]

Hi everyone,
I’m using private seafile since version 4.x and everything worked so far.
Since I updated so some 5.x version the camera upload (ios) doesn’t work anymore. I cant tell the exact version, because i just noticed it stopped working. (since I upload my mobile photos only every few month)
I have a second server (for office use) running on version 5.1.1 where upload works - so the phone shouldn’t be the problem.

When I start the iphone app and open settings -> upload I see five images with status “waiting to upload”, but nothing happens.

Strange is, that i used the 5.1.1 office server configs to setup my private server. So the config was nearly identical in the beginning.
Also I did not change the private servers config between working state and now.
Seafile logs does not show any errors (or I don’t recognize them as errors) and I have no idea why the upload stopped working.

edit: forgot to mention I did all updates from 5.0 to 6.2 today - problem still occurs.

here are my configfiles:

I hope you have a solution or a hint for me where to find the problem.

Thanks a lot

It’s not because 6.2.3 server version it did stop working after iOS 11.2 update.
For some reason the seafile app can’t register gps position.

Hi Calby,
thanks for your answer but the gps is not the problem (i think).
As mentioned i have two servers running. If I enable autoupload for the second server it works (also without gps location)

I reinstalled the app (again) and now i have a different behaviour.
After the first login, the upload seems to work. When i reopened the app, 2 files where uploaded and then the seafile app was frozen. Everytime I start the app now, it does upload 2-3 file before it freezes again.

It doesn’t seem like a hardware problem. Then, is there something troublesome with your iOS system? If so, just try to hard reset your device. Or you can also reset all settings to solve this problem. Because wrong configured settings are the possible reason for this issue. Another way to fix such a problem is applying an iOS repair program like Joyoshare UltFix . My colleague has used it to fix instagram keep crashing on iPhone X. She said none of data was lost with it. Thus, I share it with you and hope it can work for you well.
