Successful glyph hack being reported as a tap hack in 2.80.1 on iOS 14.8/15
This is not a frequent issue, and not a predictable issue, but seems to occur in ~1-2%(?) of glyph hacks on the current client.
When entering the glyph minigame, you see the sequence and complete it normally and correctly (sequence is correct, all dots on screen buzz/light up).
The client pauses briefly, shows no extra AP reward on-screen, and rewards you as if you had tap hacked; you also do not get any glyph points towards Translator.
If the hack was registered as a glyph hack but not completely correct, you'd still get bonus items and some AP - this gives you nothing extra.
I've had this happen a few times; and on each occasion, I am absolutely and totally confident that I'd put the correct sequence in, at least according to the client.
I had upgraded from iOS 14.8 to iOS 15 the previous day, so I wondered if that might be a factor, but a friend has reported the same experience on iOS 14.8, so it might be a more general issue than iOS 15 teething troubles.
My phone: iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 15 and client 2.80.1.5eeb5008
My friend's phone: iPhone 12 Mini running iOS 14.8.
(Unfortunately, due to it being intermittent and unpredictable, it's not possible to provide a screenshot.)

Thanks for reaching out, @gideonhallett! Please submit a ticket via In-app support along with a short video. We'll take it from there
When you finish a glyph hack less than 1 second before the timeout, you get no bonus items and no AP.
oh i though it was only on l8 portal. but just tried it on l7 and no ap too 😐️
and yes it's a very old bug
The reporting system just says to report on the forum.
The bug isn't just with iOS, have come across this bug multiple times on Android, current version and the last several years
