Why don’t they support Background Resource Upload PhotoKit API on iOS?

They have a new api that lets photos be backed up in the background similar to how the photos app does with iCloud. But… Immich cannot use it because Apple say you have to hard code the URL. That doesn’t work for self hosting.

Ahahaha, nice. Reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it’s good enough for us!

This could be worked around, in theory
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago How so?
By operating a relay? Then it wouldnt be 100% selfhost and be dependant on immich being accessible at all times.anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If so Apple would reject the app from the App Store.
muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago I mean, couldn’t we just use a different camera app altogether?

Apple problems lol. And not even that.
Arent there even 3rd party camera tools? Or are they not permitted to use the whole hardware like Apple can?- muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
There’s 3rd party camer apps. Apples actually pretty good about giving full camera access to apps.

The more you know.
Only got an iPad for free.
Though I have to say it’s pretty neat to have while cooking.
