Showpad-js Uploads on Android (and experience serve)

I'm following the sample at:
https://showpad.pages.showpad.io/showpad-js-lib/reference-v9.html#upload

This works on iOS and "web app" versions, popping up a save file dialog as expected.

However on all Android versions I test (multiple devices and os versions) the code silently fails and no dialog is shown.

This happens even on the most basic app:

window.onShowpadLibLoaded = () => {
uploadTest();
}

function uploadTest(){
const filename = 'filename.txt';
const file = new File(['file contents'], filename);

const upload = {
file: file,
filename: filename
};

const statusEmitter = window.ShowpadLib.upload(upload);
statusEmitter.on('queued', () => {});
statusEmitter.on('uploading', (data) => {});
statusEmitter.on('processing', () => {});
statusEmitter.on('success', (data) => {});
statusEmitter.on('failed', (error) => {});
}

As well as Android; this fails during testing via Showpad experience serve
Here I always get a success object back with the exact same data as in the docs.
I.e.

"id": "abc123",
"slug": "bdfklje739v930g0d"

I presume this is supposed to work on Android? Is there anything obviously wrong?

Thanks
