When trying to create Image Occlusion cards in the new beta version, adding an image immediately triggers a “TypeError: Load failed” error.

After dismissing the error we can continue creating the Image Occlusion card. However, the last few buttons in the horizontal toolbar of the Image Occlusion Editor are inaccessible.

The toolbar cannot be horizontally scrolled, so there is no way to reach those buttons in portrait mode.

The only way to access the last few buttons is to rotate the phone to landscape orientation.

It’s not letting me add screen recording. It says new users can’t upload attachments..

I’m able to reproduce that in the beta [on iOS 26.6], using the default Image Occlusion note type. I believe that’s usually is JavaScript related, so it’s fine to clear that and move on. The devs can take a look.

I’m able to reproduce that also – but is this new as of this beta release? Can you try switching back to the current release and see how the same bar is displayed?

The IO editor should be made more robust to deal with narrower screens, but the workaround of rotating to landscape will get you past this for now.

No problem. Your description was clear and these issues aren’t happening in-motion, so I don’t think we need that.

This issue, where we cannot scroll the horizontal toolbar in the IO Editor, occurs in versions 26.10 and 26.09.

However, in the previous version, 25.09, the horizontal toolbar works as expected and can be scrolled even when the phone is held normally in portrait mode.

Hello! The editor toolbar scroll fix is coming shortly! Just merged to main with a couple other small fixes, I’ll create a new beta release either today / tomorrow. I’ll repro and make a ticket for the JS error. Thanks for the report!

Does this also fix Image occlusion toolbar no longer scrollable ? Sorry for the duplicate btw.

This is an Ankimobile specific fix, and it looks like you mentioned desktop and AnkiDroid, so likely no, sorry!

Ok I tested the new build 26.10 (261004.2) which got released on oct 7.

I still couldn’t scroll the horizontal tool bar. And “Type error: load failed” still pops up when you add an image in IOeditor.

I’m using ios26.4.2

Btw the ui looks beautiful!! Great work!

Can I get a screenshot and/or more details of the toolbar still not scrolling? It’s working for me on the same build, but I’m on iOS 27. I’ll try a sim on 26.x again to double check.

Type Error is still expected; I logged the ticket but I’m trying not to overload this release, so that will be taken care of in a fast follow since it’s non-blocking. But the toolbar… that’s gotta be fixed ASAP if there are still versions where it’s happening.

And thank you for the kind words on the UI!

Oh never mind about the screenshot. I repro’ed it on the simulator. Thanks!

New beta went out at the end of the last week, and I was able to repro and then confirm the fix on the 26.5 simulator, but please note I don’t have a physical apple device on 26.x. Let me know if the editor UI is fixed, and if not, we’ll have to coordinate with more information on card type, etc. @Nbafan

Ohh wait. That’s not the toolbar I was referring to.

One cannot scroll the toolbar (that u see after u add an image) when you try creating an IO card on the phone. Here is the screen recording.

This is new and does not happen in the present version of AnkiMobile.

Also notice it says “type error: load failed” for some reason.

So it’s the same bug I referred to before! It’s already fixed upstream.

In TestFlight 26.10 on iOS, clicking on Button 1 in the Top Bar will sometimes result in the Help button on the main page being clicked and opening

Likewise, clicking on Button 2 in the Top Bar will sometimes result in Statistics opening instead.

A video is attached.

@phobrla Noted. I’ll create a ticket for this but it will likely be addressed in a followup release.

thanks for confirming this @ZornHadNoChoice ; @Nbafan this really is a bug in the underlying desktop Anki software. Currently assessing whether I can pull in the new submodule pointer into this release / what the risk profile would be, to see if we can pull in the fix in 26.10. Stay tuned.

@Nbafan @ZornHadNoChoice So the cherry pick wouldn’t be clean and I am concerned about trying to trying to add a full new submodule pointer at the last minute when we’ve already started final QA. Sorry about that.

The good news is we’re planning for the next release to be just fixes, housekeeping, etc, and have as quick a turnaround as possible. Thank you for your patience! We’ve had to do a lot of behind the scenes work on this first release with the extended team; things should be smoother from here on out.

Thanks for the update.

It’s frustrating that it’s been nearly a year since the last update, and there are still a few annoying bugs.

I’ve reported one more here.

after all these years, you still can’t create Anki cards on your iPhone in peace.

But I’ll try to stay hopeful. Let’s see.

Understood. Card creation—on all platforms but especially mobile—needs work, and we’re aware. Thanks for sticking with us.
