P: Photos will not upload to cloud in lightroom mobile

Starting in June the iphone photos that I import into lightroom mobile will not upload to the cloud.  I can import photos and edit them, but they do not show up in the cloud when I open Lightroom for the web or Lighroom on my desktop (I'm not attempting to do any syncing with Lightroom classic, this is purely between the cloud based versions of lightroom).  When I open lightroom on the web, I see that the latest photos are all listed under sync issues.  It tells me to open lightroom on my phone to upload them. Lightroom is open on my phone and I have pressed the manual upload button on each image, but they still just spin and do not upload.

I am on the latest version of all apps.

I'm not sure what to do to get these photos to upload to the cloud. Help appreciated.

have you tried deleting everything in your Deleted folder on the phone? This usually fixed sync issues for me.

In Lightfroom Web, you could try deleting all of the photos with Sync Issues  (enusre you still have them in Lightroom or a back up elsewhere). Before you do delete them, maybe pause sync in Lightroom Mobile, the unpause once deleted.

Could you try to re-sign-in via the Lr settings and let me know if that changes anything when you try to import a photo the next time? - Guido/ Lr iOS QE

It's months later and this still isn't working.   I have over 110 photos imported into lightroom from my phone, but they do not show up when I open up lightroom or lightroom for web on my desktop.
