The app says that the upload to Strava/Komoot failed. How can I fix this? (iOS)
Solution steps for iPhones
First of all, your rides are safe. Whenever the upload fails, they are stored in a folder on your iPhone. To retrieve the files, plug in your iPhone, open iTunes and follow the steps in the screenshots below. The first time you try to access your iPhone via iTunes, it may ask if you trust the device — acknowledge this.
You should see a “upload_failed” folder now. You can drag and drop this folder from iTunes on your computer to access the files inside. The folder contains either a “.fit” file, in case the Strava upload failed, or a “.gpx” file for Komoot.
Strava upload
To manually upload the ride to Strava, log in to your account and follow the steps in the screenshots below. In the file chooser, take the “.fit” file that you retrieved from your device above.
Komoot upload
To manually upload the ride to Komoot, log in to your account and follow the steps in the screenshots below. In the file chooser, take the “.gpx” file that you retrieved from your device above.
If the upload continues to fail, please try to reconnect the service in the COBI.Bike App settings. If even this doesn’t help, please get in contact with our support.
