Lorin Beer commented on CB-1285:
--------------------------------
Update on this:
there shouldn't be any impediment to getting full Exif header support online
for 2.6.0.
In the meantime, however, here is a workaround for getting all the metadata
that the ImagePickerController provides:
In the 'cb1285_hack' [branch of my fork of the cordova-ios
repo|https://github.com/lorinbeer/cordova-ios/tree/cb1285_hack] I've created
minor adjustment to the return values of the ImagePickerController function,
viewable
[here|https://github.com/lorinbeer/cordova-ios/commit/a0ba48700c8e13f1d873ded361bf91a1a2271dce]
(https://github.com/lorinbeer/cordova-ios/commit/a0ba48700c8e13f1d873ded361bf91a1a2271dce)
This converts the metadata dictionary returned by UIImagePickerController to a
json string, and returns it bundled with image url in the return value.
*Note: This breaks the expected return value of camera.getPicture()*
Instead of a string, the data returned is an array. The first element
corresponds to the image url. The second element is a json string with all the
image meta data. An Example usage can be found
[here|https://github.com/lorinbeer/cordova-mobile-spec/tree/camdatahack]
Specifically, [the getPictureWin function on line 61 of
camera/index.html|https://github.com/lorinbeer/cordova-mobile-spec/blob/camdatahack/camera/index.html]
ping me if you need any other details.
> 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?
