Hello, 

I tried to install again the Lightroom apk on my P30 PRO, but the problem is still there. I can't export the photos, still getting the "Couldn't complete export" error.

You will need to install version 6.0 as soon as it is available in your Google Play store - not all people get the update the same day.

I am using Lightroom Mobile version 6.0 on a phone running Android 10, and the problem is still there: whenever I try to export a photo with the "Save to device" functionality, I get the error "Couldn't Complete Export", but the export does in fact succeed despite the error, though it results in two identical .jpg files.

Also been having the problem of lightroom being unable to export images for weeks now, someone was looking into it and then radio silence no further contact or solutions.. I'm using a p30 pro. Have sent diagnostic data and using the latest android version.

Same here. Every time I try to export my pictures, I get the "Couldn't complete export" message. Tried reducing the size, quality & loging out and back in but nothing works. I am connected to the wifi and tried on my data too but neither options worked. What should I do next ? I'm using a Huawei P30 Pro with the latest version. Please and thank you

Same problem sir. I've tried renaming the picture and importing it again and pasting the previous edit and it worked. Try it.

Looks like Trumps Huawei ban is causing this...

@Rikk Did you see my post below:

https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/lightroom-mobile/lightroom-mobile-export-error-on-android/5f5f462f4b561a3d42785eef?commentId=5f8ee20dbd25503aeafcd6e4&replyId=5f9ee697917fbb3d6500de21

The issue has not gone away with version 6.0 (Android).

Restart your device.

Launch Lightroom.

If the problem still persists after doing this, take a screenshot of your Lightroom App showing the full installed version number and post it here.

@Rikk Thanks for your response. It turns out my issue was caused by the fact that I had a .nomedia file in my /Pictures/AdobeLightroom directory (i.e. the export folder). Deleting this file solved the issue.

Still, it's strange that having a .nomedia file in the directory would (1) cause an export error message, and (2) result in a duplicate export file. It's probably worth taking a look at. Thanks!
