855969 - Twitter doesn't support image uploads anymore

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Wesley Johnston (:wesj)]

I'm not seeing the twitter image upload button anymore. Did something change on their end or ours? I think(?) that B2G doesn't support file inputs. Did they adjust something for it and leave us in the cold?

Bug 832923 - Implement <input type='file'> on B2G. Does that have a bearing to this?

Comment 2

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

I think Twitter moved to Web Activities.

This works for me now, can somebody else confirm?

Comment 4

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

I don't see the camera/image button when composing a new tweet on Firefox OS or Firefox for Android (tested release and nightly). To be more accurate, the camera/image icon does display for a split second before being hidden.

The camera icon DOES appear for me now on FxOS and Android, but tapping it on FxOS does nothing.  Works on Android.  Harald, I forget...is this something you're already working on with them?

I just pinged them about it to verify that their feature detection works correct on FxOS.

Hi,how about the bug?

Comment 11

[Lisa Brewster [:adora]]

On FxOS, I'm still seeing the same behavior in comment 8.  Harald, any update?

Comment 12

Harald, If this means that a user cannot upload a picture to a tweet, we need it fixed prior to July1.

Comment 13

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

I pinged them again after reviewing their current upload implementation and verifying that adding the WebActivity fallback would be trivial.

My main contact transitioned to another role and their mobile product owner is on PTO, so I am trying different angles.

Update: Their feature detection uses a common technique copied from modernizr. They set type to file and then check if the input is not disabled to check if file inputs are supported. I work with them to check our feature detection, as we will not change that behavior for 1.0.1

Fix now in place. Confirmed by Harald K.
