--- Comment #1 from Khedron wilk <webkit.org at wilk.se> ---
Addendum:
1. My earlier tests seems to show that *no* other MIME-types than image/* works? No variant of application/ or other MIME-group seem to work. "Work" in this case = affect what files being selectable. "Earlier" in this case = IOS 11.x - I have not retested this specifically under IOS 12.x.

2. Personal speculation: I get association to the time before the Apple File-app was part of IOS. Before that you could only upload images. This looks to be some kind of remains of that time?

3. Since I am not a WebKit-developer I am not 100% sure whether this is a WebKit-bug or a IOS-bug. My apology if I am in error.

4. I am of course available as test user for any sort of testing related to this reported bug.

5. Real world consequences of this bug:
There is web applications that a user today can not use in full on IOS. For security reasons an application may specify a narrow set of file types that are allowed to be uploaded to server. But since the accept-definition seems to not work correctly in WebKit/IOS the user are not able to upload some files that are needed for using the system. I.e. user have to interrupt their workflow on an iPhone/iPad to do some of the work on a traditional computer (laptop/desktop).
