Description

The implementation that addressed https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/11246 appears to no longer work for Gutenberg Mobile. Relatedly, GutenbergKit lacks support for this feature entirely.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions
  1. Navigate to Media screen
  2. Upload a media file
  3. When the media is uploaded, tap the notification to "Write a post."
  4. A new post screen is opened but the media is not automatically added.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flow from the Media screen: upload a file, tap “Write a post,” and inspect the post-opening path in the Gutenberg Mobile/GutenbergKit integration. Done means the newly opened post contains the uploaded media, with coverage for this flow if the relevant test location is identified.
