Description

I noticed that files uploaded from ios app changed its naming format.
8 months ago I uploaded to nextcloud folder named Cats with some videos using web app:

Cats/
    Kotki F6F3.mov
    Kotki B65C.mov
    Kotki 39CF.mov
    Kotki 39FB.mov

obraz

Starting from about 3 months ago, my ios app changed format of filenames that are uploaded automatically to Kotki <some id>.jpg
I did not make any changes to configuration during this time.

iOS version: 18.0

Nextcloud iOS app version: 5.5.5.0

Server operating system: ubuntu server

Nextcloud version: Nextcloud Hub 8 (29.0.7)

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing automatic uploads in the iOS app using the reported versions and compare the generated filename with the earlier format, then trace the upload filename handling. Done means automatic uploads retain the expected naming format without user configuration changes.
