    Thanks to Sharegate's help, I've got to the bottom of this. When you use Copy Site Objects to migrate a library to a modern Team site on SharePoint Online, it will not copy the DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx and Upload.aspx. You can check using SharePoint Designer 2013. Without these, not only can you not edit the properties of an item, the OneDrive iOS app cannot see the library.

    On the Sharegate migration tool troubleshoot, it suggested you to enable Custom Script on the SharePoint Online environment. There is an option on the SharePoint Online Admin settings. However, that is not enough. You have enable this using PowerShell from the SharePoint Online Management Console.

     

    This is the instruction from Sharegate:

     

    1. Download and install Sharepoint Online Management Shell
    2. Open a Sharepoint Online Management Shell prompt
    3. Run the two following commands: Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com/ Set-SPOSite -Identity https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSite/ -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
    4. Try to remigrate.

     

    It worked perfectly! The forms are now in the migrated library. The OneDrive iOS app can now see the library and its content.

The whole redirect from SharePoint to OneDrive seems to have more issues. I have a similar (related?) issue in the iOS OneDrive app for folders that were manually created in the SharePoint site.

Situation:

  • I created a new team in Teams, which creates my Office 365 Group and SharePoint team site
  • Because of the default channel 'General' in Teams, I also get a folder ' General' in the 'Documents' library when I add a file there.
  • I created two new folders at the Documents root level, so alongside the folder 'General'
  • I open the iOS SharePoint App which then redirects me to OneDrive as soon as I click on 'Documents'.
  • Result: I only see the ' General' folder, not the two other ones I created manually

I need to go one step back in OneDrive, and then navigate to the library again in OneDrive, then I see all the folders.

Also: If I just start from OneDrive and browse to the site and library (so all in the iOS OneDrive app) all is fine, I see all of the folders rightaway.

 

Haven't figured it out yet, but I get the impression this is because it's a "special" team site, created from Teams. That's also the similarity I see with the other situation in this thread: the library already contains objects not created manually in SharePoint.

    There's more to this issue

    Plain vanilla SPO site... plain SPO document library - plain word document 

    Users click on a word Document in the library, the SP Mobile app diverts/re-direct the users to the OneDrive app and of course fails to open the document 

    Anyone that can point me to a solution?
