I have added images as .jpg to sharepoint. In my data sharepoint-list I'm referring to these mages. Displaying the images in the galleries on the desktop works, they all nicely show up in the gallery-overview. However when opening the app on the I-Phone or I-Pad the images are not visible.

Re: images not visible on I-phone / I-Pad

Hi Warren,

I managed to solve the problem with the following solution:
In the sharepoint list I have added a collumn with the type [picture].
In the sharepoint list you can now copy the url of a pictures (both JPG as PNG) works, and then the image shown in the field.
I can select this fiels in the app-gallery and it is visible on both desktop as mobile.

Thanks for inspiring me and helping me in finding a solution!!

Re: images not visible on I-phone / I-Pad

Hi @Dezarog ,
Your initial post said you added them as jpg (a file in a Library) and I mentioned that you have to connect to the Library, not the URL you have stored (that is the whole issue, mobile devices will not display a SharePoint URL).
The link you have also is not the file name, so you cannot filter on that. You need to store a unique identifier of your List record (the ID is good) in a numeric field in the Library and then you can reference it. This is normally done in a Flow is that is how you are filing the photos. How do you store the photos?

Hi Warren,

The gallery is taking items from a sharepoint list:
The url mentioned in the field [picture claim] is linking to an document library on sharepoint with the images:

Hi @Dezarog ,
As requested previously, what is the Items of your Gallery and I assume it is a normal SharePoint Document Library with the picture as a file?

Re: images not visible on I-phone / I-Pad

@ Warrenbelz,

thanks for taking the time for sharing. Still does not work.

i'm action using galleries and also

In the gallery I'm referring to the field name 'Picture claim', this is a recognized field in a sharepoint list. On the desktop it shows, but not on I-pad/I-Phone. Trying to add f.e. <.Large> results in error message.

Then I also refer to images in a standard form with an added image-control. In this case I'm referring to the selected record from the gallery:

Also here I'm not allowed to add f.e. .Large or any of the other options you have mentioned.

Any further hint is highly appreciated!

Hi @Dezarog ,
I can guarantee you it works as long as the photos are in a SharePoint Library - our workforce is mobile and we take and display thousands of photos this way on iPads and Android devices (and review them on PCs) - see below.
Firstly, you have a small "t" in '{thumbnail}' should be '{Thumbnail}'
I am assuming you are running this from a gallery as you have used ThisItem - what are the Items of your Gallery.

Re: images not visible on I-phone / I-Pad

Hi Warrenbelz,

appreciate your hint, but does not seem to work .

In the itemcontrol I get an error message when trying to add the extensions .large or .medium or .small.
does not accept any extension after ThisItem.'{thumbnail}'
When I try to add a decimal point it already refuses further input.

Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Re: images not visible on I-phone / I-Pad

Hi @Dezarog ,
That is correct if you are using a SharePoint URL as a reference- it is a limitation of the way the app resolved URLs anonymously.
However it is not difficult to fix and this also works faster on PCs.
a SharePoint Library - in a Gallery the Image control Image property is
ThisItem.'{Thumbnail}'.Large
For a Standalone picture on the form
GalleryName.Selected.'{Thumbnail}'.Large
(you can also use Small and Medium)
