While using the WordPress for iOS app on the iPad, I’ve found that it crashes most often when adding images to posts. Specifically, when you open a post, tap the photo icon in the upper right to add an image, then tap the + button at the bottom of the popover to access your iPad’s photo albums, the app suddenly quits. I’m not sure why this is happening, but I’ve observed a specific behavior by the app that indicates when the crash will happen:

Figure 1. Note the absence of the photo icon in the toolbar. The arrow at the top of the popover is pointing to blank space in the toolbar. When the photo icon disappears, as in this case, tapping the + button will cause the app to crash.

Here’s the workaround I’ve found: after you tap the image icon in the toolbar, the popover appears, and the photo icon disappears, don’t tap the + button. Instead, tap the blue Edit button at the bottom of the iPad screen, then tap the photo icon again.

Figure 2. After following the workaround, the popover appears and the photo icon is still present in the toolbar. Now, when you tap the + button, the app will not quit and your photo albums will appear.
