unexpected photo library state file radar on iphone

I noticed my photos were not uploading to my iPhone (X, iOS 12) that I took on my iPad (iOS 12). I went through all the troubleshooting making sure all the buttons were toggled on etc. Last attempt was to wipe and restore. After I restored my phone, I received this error message, “unexpected photo library state, file radar?” I clicked file radar and nothing happened.

additinal info:

my Mac (high Sierra) iPhoto library receives all photos from both my iphone and iPad. My iPhone seems to be the problem.

This happened to me too on my: iPhone 7, iPad Air, iMac (mid 2013) and Apple TV - All updated to the latest ios. It all happened when I "wiped + restored" my iPhone. After many restarts on all devices for a few days, it seemed to correct itself.

But...

There's still an issue that has been on my iMac / Photos ever since High Sierra. Photos synced fine, except it always showed that it was still "Uploading 3 Items".

Now, it's showing up on my iPhone / Photos too:

Anyone else dealing with this issue of Photos showing "Uploading..." continuously?
