Comment (by jeffr0):

 I first tried to upload a HEIC file through the browser to a wordpress.com
 site and it didn't work because of file permissions. I then logged into
 the WordPress for iOS app, adding a new post and uploaded a media file
 directly from the phone which I assume is a HEIC file and it worked.

 It turns out the file is not HEIC but is JPEG. I asked the WordPress for
 iOS developers if the app converts the image format and it does not.

 "Hi Jeff, when we pull the image from the OS, it gives it to us in jpg. So
 we don’t do any converting ourselves within the app" - Will Kwon

 I then tried to upload a media file from within the app to a WordPress.org
 powered site and it didn't work.
