What's Wrong?

When I upload a screenshot from iOS to a Claude Code chat in the iOS app, I receive the following error

API Error: 400 {“type”:“error”,“error”:{“type”:“invalid_request_error”,“message”:“messages.112.content.3.image.source.base64.media_type: Field required”},“request_id”:“req_011CY7VHDCHREVveEesB6f7n”}

What Should Happen?

Claude should be able to read screenshots from the same device
