Error "The image type is not supported on this device."

If I do "Import Sketch" from my iPhone, I am receiving the following error message:

The image type is not supported on this device.


I'm seeing this new error in Pages and Keynote, specifically; otherwise, the sketches do come in but always give this error message.


Thanks.

I am calling out that unsupported image type dialog as a bug, as a proper PNG of the sketch is inserted into Keynote v10.2 from my iPhone 6s+ running iOS 14.


Send BUG feedback to the Keynote Product team this morning.

There were new updates for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to v10.2 on macOS Catalina. These versions (10.2) are now also available for iOS/iPadOS 14. If you can update to the new versions, does the error message you mention continue to occur?


Thank you. Yes, I have 10.2 on both the iPhone and Mac yet the issue remains.



Here's a twist... The error only spawns in iWork.


Using "Insert Sketch from iPhone" in Finder spawns a .PNG file without an error.
