Description

When using the Auto-Upload feature without the Most Compatible option the HEIC pictures are uploaded, but any sidecar information (.AAE file) is not uploaded.

Expected behaviour

Include the sidecar information in the fileset of the upload. Same name + AAE extension.

Actual behaviour

The sidecar file is not included in the upload.

Steps to reproduce

Make a Camera shot using the "Portrait" mode. The sidecar will have information on the filter applied.

Start by tracing the iOS Auto-Upload path when Most Compatible is disabled and HEIC photos are processed. Reproduce the Portrait-mode case, then verify that the fileset includes the same-name .AAE sidecar alongside the photo.
