Sony A6300 File Transfer Questions

[Football Dad]

I am new to this forum and very new to the hobby so please be gentile with me. 

Have owned a A6300 for a few years and been a casual user mostly taking pictures and videos of kids sporting events.  Currently I am using the a6300 for taking video's of football camps and games.  These vids are short clips usually no longer than 15seconds, however there would be lots per event.  

So here is my problem...when I used this camera pre pandemic I was taking videos of and transferring them directly to my iphone with the Sony Play App.  Camera sat in a bag for a few years and now I am using it weekly.  However now I am unable to transfer the 4k video's and get this error on the camera "Cannot perform this operation with XAVC S files".  MP4 works fine but quality is not as good.  

I realize there are other transfer options and I just ordered a lighting port card reader so I can transfer to my ipad.  But it was soooo much easier to just go from the camera to the iphone via WiFi.  

This seems to have become a problem when the app was upgraded from Sony Play to Imaging Edge.  I didn't change any setting from when this used to work fine.  

Whole point here is so I can get photos and videos to my kid Air Dropped as quickly as possible so he can edit on his phone and post to social media.  

 

Can anyone please assist?  Thank You
