Are there any known issues with Laravel Media Library and S3 in version 9.11.4


there are a few key points regarding issues with Laravel Media Library and Amazon S3 in version 9.11.4:

1. AWS SDK Version Issue: The search results indicate that a bug was introduced in the `aws/aws-sdk-php` library version 3.209.31, which caused issues with deleting files from S3. Upgrading to version 3.211.x or later should resolve the problem.

2. Permissions Issue: Ensure that the IAM user or role used by your application has the necessary permissions to delete objects from the S3 bucket. The policy should include the `s3:DeleteObject` action.

3. Soft Deletes: If you are using soft deletes in your Eloquent model, the package may not be able to properly delete the associated media files. Try using the `forceDelete()` method instead of the regular `delete()` method.

4. Disk Configuration: Double-check your S3 disk configuration in the `config/filesystems.php` file, including the bucket name, region, and any other necessary settings.

5. Downgrading to 9.11.3: Some users reported that reverting to version 9.11.3 of the Laravel Media Library package resolved the issue with deleting files from S3.

6. Temporary Uploads: There were also reports of issues with temporary uploads to S3 when using the Media Library Pro package. Switching to a local disk for temporary uploads and then moving the files to S3 seemed to work as a workaround.

In summary, the main issues appear to be related to a bug in the AWS SDK library, permissions problems, and potential conflicts with soft deletes. Trying the suggested solutions, such as upgrading the AWS SDK, checking permissions, and using `forceDelete()`, should help resolve the problems you're experiencing with version 9.11.4 of the Laravel Media Library package.

If you continue to have issues, it's recommended to open a new issue on the package's GitHub repository and provide the relevant details, as the maintainers may be able to provide further assistance.
