Why can't I import photos from my FUJIFILM XT-50 after the iOS 18 update?

Hi guys

after updating to iPadOS 18, iOS 18 and macOS 15 i can’t import pictures from my FUJIFILM XT-50 in the photos app. It seems like it is trying to connect to the camera but it “blinks”* a few times. I’ve tried with HIEF files on the camera and with only JPEGs, same result. I can get the camera to connect if there are no files on the camera, and I can import images with the Fuji app (HEIF and JPEG, RAW I guess to, but I almost never shoot RAW). It worked perfectly under the previous versions of OS, and I have tried multiple cables.

Anyone had a similar experience? Any work arounds?

*: the camera shows up under devices and disappears again.

Same problem here. Fuji X-T5 (HEIF images) camera won‘t show up in apple photos on iPad Pro 13“ and iPhone 15 both with the latest OS 18. It used to work perfectly in the previous OS. Very frustrating if we keep having issues every year with new OS.

It seems like this might have been fixed with iOS 18.1. I just updated today and I'm able to connect my phone to my X-T5 using a USB-C cable and import heif files through the photos app.

I ran into the same issue with a Fujifilm X-T5! For now I use a USB-C SD Card reader to import the photos. Strangely I noticed that with my camera it’s able to import the jpegs fine, as long as all the photos are jpegs. However with heif it shows the same “blinking” on iOS and macOS and it’s unable to import any photos.
