iOS beta: Share from Safari, "Save to Zotero" grayed-out
Tried on this article and this one.
Steps:
1. Open web page in Safari
2. Select "share" icon
3. Tap "..." at end of app list, find and select Zotero
4. Dialog pops up, spends a few seconds filling fields; correctly detects title, shows "Full Text PDF"
5. "Save to Zotero" at top-right is greyed-out
I can hit "Cancel", can browse and change the collection and tags, but "Save to Zotero" never activates.
System info:
- Zotero 1.0 (169)
- iOS 14.8.1, iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation)
- Debug ID: D143993796 (for first URL above)
- Screenshot for first URL (device/people list redacted)
Also tested on:
- Zotero 1.0 (169)
- iOS 14.6, iPhone Xs Max

In the meantime, the save should at least time out properly so you can continue to save without the PDF, so we'll make sure it does that.
Workaround: these articles can be saved via PubMed then the PDF added manually.
The iOS share extension just stops loading it and the Save to Zotero button remains grayed out for minutes.
Another, non-ScienceDirect example https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jev2.12173
Saves fine on desktop via Save to Zotero (Wiley Online Library), but fails with the same 'symptoms' as above on iOS.
I'm confident it's caused by the double link system going via the online reader in all these platforms as it looks like the apparent common denominator.
But we'll figure out what's happening on the other sites on iOS.
Not even a preloaded PDF from science.org can be saved to Zotero via the Safari extension on the iPad. The same grayed out Save to… button.
I’m trying with this one now: https://www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1126/science.abm0829?download=true
