Problem

Dragging an image from Photos onto the iOS message input adds no attachment. The composer already implements UITextDropDelegate, but the plain-text UITextView rejects image providers in canPaste(_:) before UIKit forwards the drop.

Change

Override canPaste(_:) to accept nonempty, image-only provider lists while the composer is editable. UIKit can then route the drop through the existing image loader and attachment pipeline. Other provider combinations retain UIKit's default eligibility, and read-only/noneditable inputs reject the drop. The companion paste(itemProviders:) override also routes accepted image providers through the image loader, with other providers delegated to UIKit.

Add a native regression harness that compiles the real composer text view with UIKit. It checks UIImage, PNG, multiple images, mixed/text/unsupported providers, and locked states, plus provider-based paste producing exactly one valid image attachment while preserving draft text.

Scope and approval

Related to #17719 and draft #17721 by @kaovilai. This is an alternative implementation of the same input bug: it fixes UIKit's eligibility gate and reuses the existing UITextDropDelegate, without adding another UIDropInteraction.

This qualifies as a small, focused fix for an obvious bug: an existing image-drop handler is unreachable for image-only sessions. The change is limited to the iOS message input.

Verification

  • Built and installed both upstream main (5b35402623d7) and the initial image-drop fix (89dfbf9f95) with node scripts/mobile-native-client.ts ensure ios <simulator>. The captures below cover that initial fix; the provider-paste follow-up was verified with the native regression harness, without another full app build or gesture recording.
  • On an iPad Pro simulator running iOS 18.5, placed Photos beside T3 Code Dev, opened an empty composer, and dragged the same screenshot from the expanded Photos library onto the input using a native XCTest long press and drag. Both runs started with zero attachments. Main ended with zero; the fix ended with exactly one pasted-image.png attachment, with the existing text retained. The fixed run passed its native UI assertion. No JavaScript event injection was used.
  • bash apps/mobile/modules/t3-composer-editor/tests/run-ios.sh: fails on main's image eligibility check and passes with the fix. The added provider-paste regression also failed before the companion override and passes after it, verifying one readable PNG with the original pixels, unchanged draft text, and rejection by locked inputs.
  • vp test run apps/mobile/src/lib/composerImages.test.ts apps/mobile/src/state/use-composer-drafts.test.ts: 80 passed. Run for the initial fix; the follow-up changes only native Swift code and its native regression.
  • vp run check:changed upstream/main: passed, including affected package typechecks. Targeted strict SwiftLint and git diff --check passed.

The captures below come from the original upstream app. The iPhone gesture involving the freshly taken floating screenshot thumbnail and physical devices were not tested. The existing 10 MiB image limit still applies; a large stock photo exceeded it during testing.

Before: no attachmentAfter: one attachment

Before — native drag on upstream main:

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 89dfbf9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped iOS bug fix that lets image-only drops reach the composer’s existing image attachment pipeline while preserving default handling for other providers. The accompanying native harness is development-only and exercises image, mixed-provider, and locked-input cases.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

Walkthrough

ComposerTextView now accepts eligible image-provider paste when editable and not read-only. It loads image-only provider lists and delegates other lists to UIKit. iOS tests check image-drop eligibility, provider loading, attachment data, and preservation of draft text.

Changes: Composer paste handling

Layer / File(s)Summary
Paste eligibility and handling
apps/mobile/modules/t3-composer-editor/ios/T3ComposerEditorView.swift		canPaste(_:) and paste(itemProviders:) reject paste when editing is disabled. They route nonempty image-only provider lists through loadImages(from:) and delegate other lists to UIKit.
iOS behavior tests
apps/mobile/modules/t3-composer-editor/tests/ios/main.swift		Tests cover image-drop eligibility, blocked provider loads, attachment data, and preservation of existing draft text.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

  • pingdotgg/t3code#26999 — The change handles image-provider paste through the image loader, which relates to the reported missing clipboard image attachment.
  • pingdotgg/t3code#17719 — The change adds image-provider eligibility checks for drops, which relates to the reported rejected screenshot drop.
  • pingdotgg/t3code#17422 — The tests verify draft preservation during provider paste, but the change does not alter broader draft synchronization.

Suggested labels: bugfix, 📱 Native Change

Merge Risk: External image Minimal · previous review a566b

The change appears mergeable; additional tests would improve confidence that text and mixed-provider pastes retain UIKit behavior.

Handle provider-based image pastes explicitly.

The iPad drag/drop path reaches UITextDropDelegate, but a provider-based paste uses UIKit’s separate paste(itemProviders:) operation. ComposerTextView does not override that operation, so an accepted image-provider paste can bypass both existing image-handling paths.

Suggested fix

✅ Addressed in commit 67ec555

112ya15d ago

Validated and fixed in 67ec555c8eed364bf6c610653506e930374756e2. The new native regression reproduced this: provider-based paste emitted no attachment even though canPaste(_:) accepted the image.

paste(itemProviders:) now sends nonempty image-only providers through loadImages, rejects read-only/noneditable inputs, and delegates other providers to UIKit. The regression now passes and verifies exactly one readable PNG with the original pixels and unchanged draft text. Native regression, strict SwiftLint, and vp run check:changed upstream/main all passed.

CcoderabbitaiBot15d ago

@12ya Thanks for the fix and regression coverage. The supplied paste(itemProviders:) override addresses this finding: it routes image-only providers through loadImages, rejects locked inputs, and preserves UIKit handling for other providers.

Takeover update

merged current main into the branch with a merge commit (a566b05f50), no rebase. main had added its own tests/ios/main.swift and run-ios.sh harness (#30308), which conflicted with this pr's versions. resolution: kept main's runner and stubs, and appended this pr's drop/paste checks after main's tests (renamed the top-level editor to dropEditor to avoid clashing with main's helper). the production change in T3ComposerEditorView.swift is unchanged. the pr diff is now 2 files.

vp run check:changed passed, and all 29 ci checks are green on a566b05f50. the combined swift harness was not run because this linux vm has no apple sdk. the earlier pass below still applies.

earlier verification pass by gpt-6.1-sol:

Verified in a real dev environment

no changed runtime behavior could be verified on this linux boat vm. this is an unverifiable result, not an approval based on ci.

inspected the description, full three-file diff, commits, discussion, and exact head f2f49db20374165894cb5d1d8eedcf8991ca7545. the pr is open; its three listed commits are by 12ya, with none by juliusmarminge or t3dotgg. git.cafe reports 28 successful checks, zero failing and zero pending. those checks do not prove the native interaction.

prerequisite transcript:

text
1$ uname -s -m
2Linux x86_64
3$ command -v xcrun
4(no result)
5$ command -v xcodebuild
6(no result)
7$ command -v swift
8(no result)

no code changes, installs, dev servers, provider turns, or synthetic browser drops were performed. no new screenshots or recordings exist from this verification pass. the existing pr captures were not reproduced here.

Not verified

the production change is exclusively in the ios UIKit ComposerTextView: canPaste(_:) accepts nonempty image-only providers for editable inputs, and paste(itemProviders:) routes those providers to the existing image loader. the other two changed files are the native regression harness and runner. chrome on linux, android, or a server/websocket call cannot execute these overrides.

could not reproduce the original bug on main or exercise the exact head in a native ios client because this vm has no apple sdk, xcode, or ios simulator/device. therefore main/pr app startup was skipped rather than presenting a web-only run as evidence. native regression execution is also unavailable here.

still requires a mac with an ios client: reproduce the photos-to-composer image drag on main, repeat on this exact head, confirm exactly one attachment and retained draft text, send it through a real codex gpt-6.1-sol turn, and check text/mixed-provider paste plus read-only/noneditable rejection. capture matching before/after images and a short native interaction recording. physical iphone screenshot-thumbnail drops and native android behavior were not exercised.

Cover the non-image provider-paste fallback.

The iOS harness compares text and mixed providers only with canPaste(_:). Its direct paste(itemProviders:) calls cover image-only providers and locked inputs, but never exercise the super.paste(itemProviders:) fallback. Add text and mixed provider-paste cases that assert the resulting text against UIKit's UITextView behavior. This is a test-coverage gap; the source does not establish a current production failure.
