Description
iOS 12
Riot 0.7.3 (166) TF
iPhone X
I am having some weird problems with the share extension.
I can't share a photo from my photo library to any encrypted room. First it was just failing silently with no error message and then after a few tries it started showing this message:

I also can't get it to share certain sizes to unencrypted rooms. Small and actual size work but medium and large just fail silently.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the share-extension failures on iOS 12 with the reported Riot version: share a photo to encrypted and unencrypted rooms using small, actual, medium, and large sizes. Trace the share extension from the photo-library share action; done means encrypted-room sharing works and all reported image sizes either succeed or show a clear error.
