productCreateMedia mutation not returning preview image

[arjun_rajkumar]

hey!

I am using the query to create an image

productCreateMedia(productId: $productId, media: $media) {
  media {
    alt
    mediaContentType
    status

     preview {
      image {
         id
      }
    }
  }
  product {
    id
  }
}

This creates the image and returns the following 

{"media"=>[{"__typename"=>"MediaImage", "alt"=>"", "mediaContentType"=>"IMAGE", "preview"=>{"image"=>nil}, "status"=>"UPLOADED", "mediaErrors"=>[]}], "product"=>{"id"=>"gid://shopify/Product/5311831539871"}, "mediaUserErrors"=>[]}

Is there someway I can access the newly created image id? the id is actually available under preview but it is returning nil currently for some reason.. 

wondering how to fix this. 

thanks

I think this is happening because the image is uploaded but not processed yet. 

FAILED	Preview image processing has failed.
PROCESSING	Preview image is being processed.
READY	Preview image is ready to be displayed.
UPLOADED	Preview image is uploaded but not yet processed.

I am getting back the status as uploaded, but without the image id. 

just wondering how I could wait for this to be processed so that I can retrieve the image id also with this request.
