Hi George,
you should have access to the original date and time, as well as all the other
metadata, through the solution I posted in CB-1246.
The solution we decided to pursue for CB-1285 was to properly embed the
metadata in exif format within the jpeg header as per the exif header
standard. This would mean writing/using a serverside jpeg exif parser to read
the data back out. As Shaz mentioned, writing an Exif Reader for unit tests may
be a possibility, but only if such a project would provide significant utility
to the Cordova community. For validation programatically, I'd rather hack
together tests using an existing reader, which may have an incompatible
license, making it impossible to include into Cordova Core.
If you have any questions about how to use the solution posted in CB-1246,
please ask!
> Include EXIF metadata in image upload

> Key: CB-1285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1285
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: iOS 5.1.1 (iPad 2 & iPhone 4)
> Reporter: Stephen McKamey
> Assignee: Lorin Beer
> Fix For: 2.3.0

>
> Now that Cordova only supports iOS 4.2+, it would be great if it would
> include the additional EXIF metadata which exists in original image files.
> Currently this is all stripped. I've noticed a recent increased trend of iOS
> apps declaring that they can gain access to EXIF data if the user permits
> location information. If EXIF & geo data were passed through this would be a
> huge gain for Cordova.
> Related: a similar issue (CB-295) was opened for Android and it sounds like
> it was implemented. From the other issue, it sounded like it was a side
> effect of resizing the image. If no resizing needs to occur (i.e., the
> untouched original bits are desired), then perhaps this would help?
