client side showForm() won't work on iOS?

My app uses client side showForm() to collect data before creating a post. The form contains:

  1. An image field (required)

  2. A string field (required)

  3. A string field (disabled/read-only)

The form works correctly on Android and Desktop Reddit, submitted values are returned as expected. But, on iOS, the form always returns an empty values object. The submit action succeeds (action === "SUBMITTED"), but all field values are always reported as 'undefined' / {} before even hitting the server.

I tested some stuff out, like removing the image and the disabled string field, but no luck. iOS always returned an empty values object (values: {}). Android was fine.

Can somebody help me understand what is going wrong here? iOS users are unable to post anything through the app on my sub :'(

Some good good good updates!

Hey r/PuzzledArt! I've pushed some updates to the puzzle interface:

  1. Larger grid:
    I posted a poll a few days back asking if the community would like the grid to be a little bigger. Most of us said yes, so that had to be done!

  2. Gallery bug fixed:
    I'm not sure if anybody had noticed this before lol. When you had more than 10 artworks in your gallery, clicking the "More" button could show duplicate images. Not anymore tho.

  3. A new mystery icon added to the menu (check the image):
    I won't reveal what it's for. Why don't you try it out on u/IyellWhenImMad's latest post ;)

Should the puzzle grid be a little bigger?

For players coming to this sub through their phones, does the puzzle grid feel too small?

Need some opinion before i push the next update

Sub hit almost 50 members after nearly an year of formation. New mods, don't give up

I come across a lot of success stories about subreddits reaching massive audiences within months of formation. A sub i started in october (r/PuzzledArt, i'd subtly put it here 🤭) started growing only recently, THAT'S 8 OR 9 MONTHS after!

i figured the reason - i didn't know how the sub's target audience would find it.

Initially, i used to think optimization would do it all. So, i got all the sub assets, set up the wiki, checked off all the boxes for setup and posted regulary for 3 weeks. But, that barely moved the needle. Visitors dropped by randomly, but none turned to members. How do i know? the first 8 members of sub were people ik irl, and had reached out to personally 💀

I then started subtly mentioning my sub in conversations that i felt were revelant. Now this could work for some subs, didn't work for mine. My primary audience was in art subreddits, where comment sections usually look identical so not a lot of people spend their time reading it, or in high traffic subs where my comments got buried.

The thing that worked for me was crossposting an interesting post into a sub that allowed me to promote mine. This worked. it was actually the content in the crosspost that did the heavylifting. I'm aware this won't be feasible for all types of subreddits, but if you're into side projects or hobbies, there really might be some subs that'd allow it. Traffic flowed in from there.

I don't think i am the best at growing an audience, but i am learning from my mistakes. I am making this post so other mods, who may be thinking of abandoning their inactive subs, know that growth can happen much later sometimes.
