Hi. I've got a consistently repeatable bug on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro (latest version).

If Pixelmator Photo (v2.0.2) is not running and I use the share sheet from the photos app (or messages or email apps) to send a photo directly to it, the screen goes black and stays that way. It's Pixelmator Photo that's showing the black screen - the task switcher shows it.

If I force-kill Pixelmator Photo, then open it and go back to the app I want to share a photo from, the share works instantly.

This happens every single time. I've removed the app and reinstalled it, but the issue is still there.

I've taken a screen recording but it looks like I can't attach it here. I'm happy to send it to anyone who thinks it would help.

You are doing better than me. Having Photo running or not makes no difference to me, the Share function invariably leads to a spinning "Importing image" that typically fails. See my message in this forum on Dec 19.

Yea. It just doesn't work.

Thanks, everyone for the reports. We've just released Pixelmator Photo 2.0.3 with a potential fix for this Share extension issue. We'd love to hear if everything's working for you now! :fingers_crossed:

Definitely seems to be fixed on my iPad. Thanks.
