Moriarty commented on CB-1285:
------------------------------
I also am running into this issue. In my case, whenever a user takes a photo
the GPS exif data is stripped. The proposed solution seems the right way to go,
e.g. having Cordova restore the data in the image (#2). But in my opinion, any
'hotfix' to get EXIF data (especially GPS) would be fine for the time being.
> 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
>
> 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?
