# Bug Report
Black screen when selecting “Photo from Library” only on iPhone SE (iOS 26.1)
### What is expected to happen?
The system photo picker should open and display the photo library for image
selection.
### What does actually happen?
After choosing “Photo from Library” from the bottom sheet, the system asks
for photo permissions (Allow Full Access).
Once allowed, the app shows a black screen instead of the photo picker.
The picker UI never appears, and the user cannot access any other app
functionality.
The app remains stuck on this screen until the user **force closes and
relaunches** it.
No crash occurs, but the app stays frozen on the black screen until
restarted.
## Information
When we attempt to upload an image from the photo library:
- The bottom sheet shows “Take Photo”, “Photo from Library”, and “Files”.
- Selecting “Photo from Library” triggers the iOS permission dialog.
- After granting Full Access, the picker shows a black screen instead of the
library UI.
- Camera and File picker both work as expected.
- Permissions are correctly visible under
- Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → Planon → Full Access.
- The issue occurs only on iPhone SE (iOS 26.1).
- Works fine on iPhone 14 / 14 Pro (iOS 26.0.1) and on older iOS versions
(16, 18).
- We use a custom URL scheme, but since the issue occurs before selecting an
image (while opening the photo picker), it’s not relevant to this problem.

These logs appear immediately after selecting “Photo from Library” and
before the picker UI is rendered.
