Since upgrading to Catalina, Photos won't import photos from my iPhone. The progress bar will move across giving the impression something is happening; however, once finished, not a single photo was imported to the library.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any solutions???

I can confirm the problems stems from Photos having trouble importing photos/videos directly from the iPhone. I found a workaround:
Before I found this workaround, I used Image Capture to preview all the photos from my iPhone and when I tried to drag these iPhone photos to Photos, guess what, Photos crashes. I can recreate this crash again and again.
This bug is ridiculous given importing photos is such a fundamental function of Photos. So the team at Apple, please look into this without further delay. BTW my iPhone X and 2013 MacBook Air are all on the latest OS and my Photos library is stored on an external HDD.
Setting System Photo Library also did NOT work for me. Also tried importing 1 photo or 1 video and still not able to import.
Still no solution to this very basic function, this is really frustrating.
