iOS – Fix RAW Images Not Visible in Image Capture or Lightroom

iosphotos

I have a brand-new iPhone 11 Pro and have used Halide to take some photos in RAW format. My standard method for processing is to plug the phone into my iMac (currently running 10.14.6) and import them into Lightroom then edit from there. However, anything I shoot in RAW will not show up in Image Capture or Lightroom. I've tested under Catalina and Mojave, and my wife used Obscura to take some RAW photos on a recent trip with her iPhone 7 also running iOS 13.2, and is having the exact same problem.

Has anyone else a) run into this, and b) managed to fix it? It's supremely irritating. 🙁

Looks like this was a bug that's since been resolved between either the macOS and/or iOS updates in recent months, I just checked now and can't replicate this behaviour anymore.
