Richard B Knoll commented on CB-6708:
-------------------------------------
I was able to reproduce this using plugin 1.2.0 and iOS 8.4. I used
saveToPhotoAlbum and the saved photo appeared to have lost all of its EXIF data
(though I couldn't specifically test GPS). However, should the EXIF data be
preserved? Changing the photo quality means we are producing a new image file;
how is EXIF data usually handled in that situation? A lot of the information
about the camera is no longer relevant to the new image. I can definitely see
the benefit of preserving some information like GPS data, though, so I think
this issue is valid.

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Camera
> Reporter: Ryan Murphy
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Triaged, camera, gps, ios
>
> Images picked from the gallery do not preserve metadata when saved to tmp.
> Particularly they lose GPS metadata.
> This extra metadata is available in asset.defaultRepresentation.metadata.
> I have a solution that works for my purpose. But currently only saving with
> asset.defaultRepresentation.fullResolutionImage.
> Approach to get the asset: https://github.com/foundry/UIImageMetadata
> Approach to save the asset: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15398387/618412

> Thanks for consideration.
