Bug Report

Problem

This problem occurs on Android devices:
The exif location tags are removed from the image when images taken with camera are selected from Samsung Gallery app with the camera plugin.

However, the exif tags are not removed if the images are taken with camera and selected from "recent files" with the camera plugin. Further, the exif tags are not removed if the images are taken with the camera-plugin and then selected from Samsung Gallery app.

Command or Code

Plugin configuration:

var opts = {
quality: 30,
targetWidth: 900,
targetHeight: 900,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
allowEdit: false,
correctOrientation: true,
saveToPhotoAlbum: true
}
