"No protocol method DateTimeProtocol plus- defined for type null:" error on opening a sent image in chat

[pavloburykh]

@OmarBasem probably a regression of some of recent PRs related to images

Steps:

1. Open any chat
2. Send a message containing image
3. Try to open image after sending

Expected result: image opens, no error

Actual result: "No protocol method DateTimeProtocol plus- defined for type null:" error appears, image is not opened. In case with messages containing more than 1 image - it is able to open them after re-entering chat, when images start showing as an album. See video below.

Thanks @pavloburykh. There was a small typo. Fixed in #15390

[pavloburykh]

#15390

Thanx @OmarBasem !

I am facing another issue on IOS and I wonder if it could be somehow related to current one or it is a separate issue? Could you please check?

"Index argument nth must be a number" error appears on opening album image on IOS

There are no clear steps. I have managed to reproduce the bug couple of times using these one:

1. Open chat
2. Send message containing 6 images
3. Re open chat
4. Send message containing 1 image
5. Open the the last message to receive "No protocol method DateTimeProtocol plus- defined for type null:" error
6. Try to open different images in the previously sent message containing album

Actual result: "Index argument nth must be a number" error appears

@pavloburykh no it's not related. This happens randomly. And I believe it can happen on Android also.

[pavloburykh]

@OmarBasem thanx. I will log this issue separately. Will try to figure out more clear steps and try reproduce it on Android. By now I have faced it only on IOS.

[OmarBasem]

Okay thanks @pavloburykh. Would be good if you can find a clearer way of reproducing it, and whether it is on both platforms.

[pavloburykh]

@OmarBasem hi! Re-opening the bug as it is easily reproducible on IOS.

Steps:

1. Open any chat
2. Send 1 image
3. Open and close the image right after it is sent
4. Observe an error

Actual result: No protocol method DateTimeProtocol plus- defined for type null:" error on opening a sent image in chat.

Can't easy reproduce it anymore

I am easily reproducing the issue on my iPhone X, IOS 14.1 on latest nightly build. Let's leave this issue opened.

hey @OmarBasem do you plan to work on it?

[OmarBasem]

@flexsurfer Yes I will look into it

[OmarBasem]

@pavloburykh are you still reproducing this issue? I am not able to reproduce it

[pavloburykh]

@pavloburykh are you getting this error before or after that PR which was merged very recently: #16405.

[pavloburykh]

#16405

@OmarBasem I am getting it in today's nightly which does not include this fix #16405

I have just checked build from this PR #16405 and still getting error there.
