Partner Sharing Broken After Upgrade to v1.123.0

[jiongxuan]

The bug

I have encountered two significant issues after upgrading Immich from version v1.122.1 to v1.123.0:

1. Partner Photos Not Visible on Mobile Devices: After upgrading, both my wife and I are unable to see each other’s photos on our Android and iOS devices using the Partner Sharing feature. This functionality worked perfectly in the previous version (v1.122.1).

2. Unable to Re-add Partner After Removal: In an attempt to resolve the issue, I went to the settings and removed each other as partners. However, when trying to re-add a partner by clicking on “Add partner”, the following error message appears:

Looks like you shared your photos with all users or you don't have any user to share with.

This prevents us from re-establishing the Partner Sharing connection.

Do you have the "public users" setting turned off?

EDIT: After further investigation, I have made some additional findings regarding the issues with Partner Sharing after upgrading to v1.123.0.

1. Database Restoration and Web Functionality:

   • I restored the database to a state before removing the partner.
   • On the Web: Partner photos are now successfully displayed, confirming that the restoration has resolved the issue on the web platform.

2. Persistent Issues on Mobile Devices (Android and iOS):

   • On Android and iOS Devices:
     • Navigating to Library -> Partners still shows an empty list with the message:

       Your photos are not yet shared with any partner.
       

     • When attempting to Add Partner, the following error message appears:

       No more users to add.
       

     • This behavior is inconsistent with the Web platform, where adding a partner works as expected.

Summary of Current Status:

• Web Platform: Partner Sharing is functioning correctly after database restoration.
• Mobile Platforms (Android and iOS): Unable to view partner photos and cannot re-add partners due to error messages.

This issue continues to significantly impact our ability to share photos between partners on mobile devices. Any assistance or guidance to resolve the mobile-specific problems would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the "public users" setting turned off?

@bo0tzz No, it has always been enabled. Partner sharing functions correctly on the Web, but on mobile devices (Android and iOS), we are still unable to view each other’s photos.

Can you log out and in on the devices?

Can you capture the screenshot of this settings on the web in Administration > Settings > Server Settings

Also, try logout and log back in
