Title: 🚨 Regression: New photos not detected for auto-upload since v6.6.0 (album-based logic broken) #3426

Description

@VikingKing

Since updating to version 6.6.0 (April 4, 2025), the iOS app no longer detects and uploads new photos automatically. This used to work flawlessly.

🔍 Reproduction Steps
Enable Auto Upload (default setup, full photo access)

Use default Camera Roll (no album filtering)

Tap “Upload All” → all existing photos are uploaded ✅

Take a new photo → it never uploads ❌

No errors in app logs, no uploads triggered

Tried uninstalling the app and starting from scratch. Same issues.
Tried on 3 devices.

✅ Confirmed Working
App has full access to all photos

WebDAV, reverse proxy (HAProxy), and server permissions are fine

Upload of 1000+ existing photos worked

Manual upload from photo library works

Immich and other apps detect and sync new photos on same devices

❌ Broken Behavior
New photos are not detected or queued for upload after 6.6.0

No upload attempts reach the server (verified via logs)

Seems directly tied to the new album-based auto upload feature

Possibly an issue with default album behavior when no selection is made
