Current Behavior

When taking a picture with

Camera.getPhoto({
  source: CameraSource.Camera
  quality: 50,
  saveToGallery: false,
  correctOrientation: true,
  resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
})

and setting that image as a src of an <img> element, that image is not orientated correctly.

Expected Behavior

Image should have correct orientation.

Additional Context

This is probably caused by the changes made in #480. My best guess is that the final image now contains the exif orientation returned by the camera. But correctOrientation: true rotated the image without also updating the exif orientation. So the exif orientation in the final image is incorrect. Chrome then rotates the image using the exif orientation.

And what are the steps to reproduce?
I've been testing in a few different devices taking pictures in portrait, landscape left, landscape right and upside down and I don't see any issue

[WIStudent]

I am seeing this issue on my Pixel 3a (Android 11, Android System WebView 91.0.4472.120)
Using the demo app I am taking a picture while holding the device in portrait orientation. After I took the picture, its rotated by 90 degrees clockwise in the web view.
When I am holding the device in landscape orientation (rotated clockwise) while taking the picture, the picture will be rotated 180 degrees in the web view.

ah, yeah, could reproduce on Pixel 4, will work on a fix
