Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

After calling navigator.camera.getPicture iOS requires permission for camera and geolocation. After taking and using the photo, the plugin should return the image path with the correct image file.

What does actually happen?

After calling navigator.camera.getPicture iOS requires permission for camera and geolocation. After taking and using the photo, an empty file is created, in my case file: ///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/DBF0DD91-F8CD-45BE-963E-6B5F90A8F1CB/tmp/cdv_photo_1602269141.jpg. I have listed the errors that occur in the information section.

Command or Code

        navigator.camera.getPicture((imageURI: string) => {
            console.log(imageURI);
            // file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/DBF0DD91-F8CD-45BE-963E-6B5F90A8F1CB/tmp/cdv_photo_1602269141.jpg
        }, {

            destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
            sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
            correctOrientation: true,
            saveToPhotoAlbum: false,
            encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG
        });

The same error also occurs with a combination of parameters: quality: 100 and correctOrientation: false or quality: 50 and correctOrientation: false / true.

Is anyone able to test the new 14.1 beta builds? This could be an iOS bug, too.

[jcesarmobile]

Can any of you provide a sample app where it can be reproduced?
That’s more helpful than “me too” messages

Hi @jcesarmobile ,
I have attached the sample code . To replicate the issue take multiple picture continuously (~60-70 images). Generally App got crash after 30-40 images. I have also attached the crash log, binary images and Xcode log

Camera-Plugin-Demo.zip

[jcesarmobile]

That's not the issue discussed here, that has always happened, the native component doesn't release the memory properly and crash the app if you take a lot of pictures.

The issue reported here is iOS 14 specific and says that the size of the image is 0, not that the app crash.

@jcesarmobile Here is a sample app, if you take out line 52 in config.xml, for the geolocation preference it works, if you keep it in it doesn't.

I had the same problem when I used GetLocation.

config.xml
<preference name="CameraUsesGeolocation" value="true" />

Use this Fork version, the problem is no longer there. This has not been merged.
