Edit:
specialneedz ( @specialneedz@lemmy.ml ) English12•1 year agoWeird, I’ve not had that permission request. Not sure why Memmy would want / need it either 🤔
gkd ( @gkd@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoI replied up above about this. If you visit my profile right now and hit posts, you’ll get the message. I made a post in /c/test with a link for an image at http://192.168.1.5/image.png
The app tries to pre-load images. If it makes a request to an internal IP, then iOS automatically triggers this. I’ll see how I can completely disable this or if I need to just filter these out.
For the record, this appears to happen in other apps as well so if you want to test it on other apps, feel free 👍
I don’t see a reason for this as well…
gkd ( @gkd@lemmy.ml ) English10•1 year agoThis is related to this bug: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/issues/170
I guess what I need to do is completely filter out anything that is local. Super weird issue and frankly annoying that they can even be posted to Lemmy.
To test this, visit my profile and hit “Posts”. I posted something in /c/test with an internal IP for reference.
Edit: We’ll add some information to the dialog asking you to deny the permission and I’ll do my best to filter these out so it doesn’t pop up at all.
Edit: Fixed this now. See these commits for changes:

Joeri ( @joeri@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year agoI just had the same thing…
Atiran ( @Atiran@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year agoI didn’t get this request either. Strange. I downloaded the app about 2 days ago.
I just got it once. Someone linked an GitHub Issue, I guess the problem is related to this.
heavyboots ( @heavyboots@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoIs it related to trying to share content via AirDrop or AirPlay somehow? Only reasons I can think of offhand.
Sean ( @sgriff@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoJust happens if some weirdos post local ip addresses on lemmy. gk explained above.
heavyboots ( @heavyboots@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoI thought people were saying that bug had been fixed though. So it may be a different bug?
gkd ( @gkd@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoIts fixed but the version is not yet released. The changes have been made to the code though.
heavyboots ( @heavyboots@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoAwesome! Good to know!
