In Android, sharing an audio file to SoundCloud no longer works

Previously, if I choose an mp3 file (with audio/mpeg MIME type) and share it, there is a choice to upload to SoundCloud.

Now, the only choice is "Record" from SoundCloud, which does not seem to read the mp3 file at all, instead asking the user to record a new file.

I have tried both the standard "android.intent.action.SEND" action and the SoundCloud-specific "com.soundcloud.android.SHARE" action. Both sends me to the Record interface.

Testing intent from the adb shell:

 am start -a com.soundcloud.android.SHARE --es android.intent.extra.STREAM file:///storage/emulated/0/Recordings/recording-20150622-101838.mp3

Why is this so, and is it true that we can no longer upload an audio file from another app to SoundCloud?

I've reported this problem to the SoundCloud support. It actually is a bug. I also got a beta build of the next SoundCloud update, which obviously contains a bug fix ... with the beta it works again. So I'm pretty sure it'll be fixed in the next SoundCloud release.
