if it's a bigger file, it takes a while: there should be a progress bar. We've done something similar on Android. The first 30% of the progress bar are taken up by encryption (which we have no way to track progress of) and the last 70% is upload of the message to Gmail servers, which you should be able to track progress of.

I need to link the Android issue later where it's explained in detail.
