I have been practicing with the phone in the office and have found twice
that a large number of forms can get backed up and not upload.
The first time I realised it was because the photo quality was too high on
my phone. However,. I could not figure out the problem for the second time
and I am very concerned this could happen in the field when the field
workers may have many forms backed up by the time they get into a wifi
zone. The only solution I could find was deleting the problematic files
which would obviously cause a big problem in the field.
If someone could provide me with common problems/causes of forms not being
able to be submitted that would be very helpful for me to warn/provide
advice to our field workers.
This is likely a known issue with multimedia submissions. Doing the
following may help with this issue:
Go to your project settings --> Privacy and Security, and turn off the
"secure submissions" setting.
After changing this settings, create a new version of your application
and deploy this version to your mobile device.
Note that disabling this setting does allow malicious users to fake data
submissions to your project. While this is likely a very low probability
scenario, it is worth noting. We are actively working on a fix so that this
workaround is no longer required.
thanks,
Cory

Thanks for your reply, I will test this process and let you know if I
encounter any further problems.

I have a quick update on multimedia submissions. The issue Cory highlighted
below (form submissions with multimedia in them not working with secure
submissions turned on) has now been fixed. We recommend that anyone who may
have opted to turn off secure submissions to use multimedia should turn it
back on.
Multimedia file size may still cause problems submitting forms with
multimedia capture over a poor connection. We're looking into automatic
resizing of images to help mitigate this problem.
Thanks,
Amelia
