Jesse,
Thanks for providing that information.
I downloaded an EXIF property viewer and notice that with correctOrientation
missing or set to false, there are 18 EXIF properties in the file. When I
enable correctOrientation, another 30 EXIF properties are added to the file
(for a total of 48).
Do you know what part of this actually affects orientation? There's an
orientation EXIF property, but it's set to 0 for all three of my test files.
Enabling this option adds GPS information to image files on iOS as well. I
wonder if this particular option is not named correctly. Should it be called
something like enableEXIF with the documentation explaining what features it
adds to a file.

It definitely does something, you just may not notice it.
If you try to display an image you took in your app on iOS in any image
viewer that does not correctly interpret exif, then the picture will still
display correctly.
If you remove the code, it will not.

I can't get it to do anything on iOS, so I think it's broken.
Any chance someone can do a quick test to confirm my suspicion? Probably
need to remove it from the docs if it doesn't do anything.

It is listed as supported on iOS and Android, and back in 1.7, it was iOS
only,
Android does this:
this.correctOrientation = args.getBoolean(8);
iOS uses it after the image is captured, and calls
imageCorrectedForCaptureOrientation
[1] which rotates it according to the orientation of the camera when the
picture was taken.

Lists a bunch of platforms that don't implement it.
My guess is that some older platforms wouldn't automatically switch
between portrait and landscape orientations for photos.
