Gmail [2025.11.09.830318519.Release] update: Unable to send emails with attachments when using microG.
Affected app
Name: Gmail
Package id: com.google.android.gm
Describe the bug
After updating the Gmail app to version 2025.11.09.830318519.Release, the Compose → Send action fails whenever an attachment is included.
The email stays stuck on “Uploading…” and never completes.
This affects all accounts, including:
- Personal Google accounts
- Work / corporate accounts
Sending emails without attachments works normally.
To Reproduce
- Open Gmail
- Tap Compose
- Attach any file (image, PDF, etc.)
- Tap Send
- The message gets stuck on “Uploading…”
Expected behavior
Email with attachments should send normally, just like on stock Google Play Services devices.

Same problem - this time on Huawei Harmony OS 4.20, Gmail app gets stuck on 'Queued' or on 'Uploading' whenever I compose email with some attachment.
I know this is very different setting compared to micro G but similar symptoms on Grapheneos : https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/28463-unable-to-send-emails-with-attachments-in-gmail
Error message seems different, though :
11-28 03:22:48.427 22295 22401 W ContextImpl: Failed to ensure /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/files

Also alway pleaseant to notice everybody has a cat profile pic here 😻
Look like Gmail App changed by include this AppIndexing.API. I downgrade Gmail to 2025.09.29.812671317.Release (65370665). And now I can send mail with attach file.
@grenadin yes i also got to attach file with Gmail 2025.09.29.812671317 in harmony OS 4.2 ... hopefully my gmail doesn't auto-update though
