cannot download some types of attachments

[tomholub]

Theoretically, every possible type of attachment should be downloadable, since all the device has to do is decrypt it and save the file byte-for-byte. We should not have a situation when some attachments fail to download because of their type, but that's what happens today.

1. go to Contacts app on Android, "manage", "export all". It produces a vcf file, like contacts.vcf
2. use FlowCrypt for Android to send it to yourself encrypted
3. open on iOS
4. tap download

expected: file gets decrypted / saved to downloads

@tomholub I couldn't reproduce this issue. I tried to attach vcf file from various android devices (with flowcrypt android app) and tried to save in iOS app and it worked fine.
Could you tell me reproduce steps?

[tomholub]

The steps are as above, in more detail:

1. go to Contacts app on Android, "manage", "export all". It produces a vcf file, like contacts.vcf
2. use FlowCrypt for Android to send it to yourself encrypted
3. open on iOS and notice the attachment on the bottom
4. the contents of the file render as text in the "view attachment" screen
5. tap download icon (a square with an arrow pointing down) which is on to right corner above the preview
6. the above error shows on the bottom

device: iOS 13 Pro

Hmmm...I tried exactly that step and it works fine in both simulator & device..

Let me check more.

[tomholub]

I don't get that far. As soon as I tapped the icon on top right, it shows error.

Could I have denied some permission earlier?

You could make an edit that would log more information in that situation. Maybe the whole stack. Then I could test it again.

What I did is exactly same like you.

1. go to Contacts app on Android, "manage", "export all". It produces a vcf file, like contacts.vcf
2. use FlowCrypt for Android to send it to yourself encrypted
3. open on iOS and notice the attachment on the bottom
4. the contents of the file render as text in the "view attachment" screen
5. tap download icon (a square with an arrow pointing down) which is on to right corner above the preview
6. Attachment Saved dialog (which asks user to if he wants to view file) appears.

Device: iPhone 7

@tomholub Could you send me email which contains your contacts.vcf file from your android device (you may delete some sensitive infos). I think something's wrong with your vcf file.

@tomholub Please check above when you have time
