Hello. I am using he API to list my items and I have noticed that on browser images are visible with no issues but on Mobile iOS app they are not displaying. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix?
This maybe a fix but not at home to look.
Could you please give the link to that faulty listing? What was the full computer code that you ran? Maybe the image URL was incorrect.
Not at home to post code but here is link.
It’s fine in the browser but in the mobile app no image.
Then it may be a bug in the app (or the app needs to be refreshed). If the image shows up on the web, it should show up fine in the app.
I thought the same. But I did notice that when I want to edit a listing the image isn’t present and I have to upload an image for it to be saved. So I wonder during the upload procedure it’s similar to the order issue I posted earlier. It shows for cover but not ID 1? Mobile might show ID 1 and that is why not showing? When I get home I’ll evaluate and update.
Here is the code from the child file
// Upload an image to use as the listing's cover photo
await gfapi.upload_photo(listing.id, photo_url);
Here is code from the index.js
/**
* Uploads an online image to Gameflip for use as the listing's cover photo.
* NOTE: Images have a filesize limit of 500 kilobytes.
* @param {string} url
* @returns {object} photo object with url
*/
async upload_photo(listing_id, url) {
let photo_obj = await this._post('listing/' + listing_id + '/photo');
if (!photo_obj || !photo_obj.upload_url) return console.log('Failed POST photo to API');
let photo_blob = await Request.get(url, {encoding: null});
let upload_req = await Request.put({
url: photo_obj.upload_url,
body: photo_blob
});
let patch = [{
op: CONST.LISTING_OPS.REPLACE,
path: '/photo/' + photo_obj.id + '/display_order',
value: 0
},
{
op: CONST.LISTING_OPS.REPLACE,
path: '/photo/' + photo_obj.id + '/status',
value: CONST.LISTING_PHOTO_STATUS.ACTIVE
},
{
op: CONST.LISTING_OPS.REPLACE,
path: '/cover_photo',
value: photo_obj.id
}];
return await this.listing_patch(listing_id, patch);
}Looking at the code the value: 0 might be the culprit.
Does the photo appear normally after you’ve changed the value 0 to 1?
Doesn’t look like it worked.
Please download or git pull the GFApi again. A listing requires two photos to be uploaded and the previous code only uploaded one.
I see the code change you made. Thank you I will update and try again and update on confirmation of success.
@galacticarm doesn’t seem to still show up on mobile. Image shows up if I were to edit the listing, but viewing the listing and viewing search there is no image, only in edit mode. Mind you this is iOS and apparently there is no issue in Android from people telling me.
The images do successfully load on Android/web but fail to load on iOS. I’m not sure why. Please post the code that you executed to post one of your listings.

}I am still seeing blank white space on iOS application using api method. Is it the iOS application or the app method? Just curious as this effects any user wanting to buy from iOS?
Tried to use an image from the GF site to see if its my images, and still doesn’t display on iOS. I wonder if there is an issue with the calls on iOS when it comes to displaying images.
Please download or git pull the GFApi again. Before running the sample code, run this command in the gfapi folder:
npm update
The listing image should display on all platforms now, but please use JPG or PNG only.
Is it against the rules to use Gifs?
Not stated, but it’s pretty darn annoying with animated GIFs. If more people uses it, I’m sure there will be a rule.
