Hey @codeconsole, thanks for your work here. I've also been juggling this issue for years, and I want to add some more context to this issue to respectfully ask if it can be looked at by those with the power to merge things. The current environment: 1. Google Play no longer accepts Android apps without AAB builds, which are only offered with `cordova-android` 10.x 2. `cordova-android` now only supports Android X and above 3. The only previously working camera plugin, [cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif](https://github.com/remoorejr/cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif), is a fork of this, but it [does not yet support Android X](https://github.com/remoorejr/cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif/issues/56) 4. This plugin, which is the official one, claims to support exif data but it has not worked for years. 5. There have been a few good attempts by external developers to fix this over the years (and a big thanks to them!), but PRs remain un-merged or ignored. I respect and want to thank the maintainers past and present. If the desire to fix this has gone or there's no bandwidth to do so, then just let us know. (@erisu, do you have any bandwidth to merge this PR) As I see it, if there is no bandwidth to get proper exif support here, then one way forward may be in Javascript: i.e. capture the location data externally and then [add the exif data manually into the image in JS](https://github.com/hMatoba/piexifjs). But this won't help with exif on library photos, which this PR appears to solve. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
