Bug Report

Problem

Cordova plugin camera get picture. metadata not found in cordova ios

What is expected to happen?

Get metadata data when taking photos on iOS

What does actually happen?

When I upload a photo using Android, the photo has metadata information, but when I upload a photo using iOS, there is no metadata information.
I used the exifjs library (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/exif-js) to test and the results are as follows:
android:
image

ios:
image

Information

I see @erisu has committed on this issue!
I see that cordova plugin camere version 7.0.0 mentions preserving metadata on ios.

Command or Code

`

base64ToArrayBuffer: function(base64) {
          base64 = base64.replace(/^data\:([^\;]+)\;base64,/gmi, "");
          var binary = atob(base64);
          var len = binary.length;
          var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(len);
          var view = new Uint8Array(buffer);
          for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
              view[i] = binary.charCodeAt(i);
          }
          return buffer;
      },
  snapPicture: function(callBack) {
          navigator.camera.getPicture(successCamera, failCamera, { 
              destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
              correctOrientation: true
          });

    function successCamera(base64) {
        let arrayBuffer = base64ToArrayBuffer(base64Image);
        let dataExif = EXIF.readFromBinaryFile(arrayBuffer);
        if (dataExif && dataExif.DateTime) {
          alert("Exif Date: " + dataExif.DateTime);
        } else {
          alert("Exif Date not found!");
        }
    }
    function failCamera(message) {
        app.preloader.hide();
    }

I've made a patch where EXIF Metadata is available again. Let me know if you still need it and I can share. It will be nice to have someone else testing :)

I have run into the same problem where iOS is not capturing the exif data. If you could share your patch, that would be great. Thank you.
