Research direction
Start by reproducing the HEIC upload failure in the Nextcloud Android app version 34.1.1 on the reported Android 16 setup, then inspect how failed uploads enter the failed/retry list. Done means HEIC files upload successfully to the server instead of being queued for retry; Android or server logs are needed to narrow the failing path.
