[Feature]: Add geolocation EXIF data to images captured with the camera

[nelsonvassalo]

Description

Add the additional EXIF data to images captured with the camera, in the same way images from the gallery already do.

Platforms

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Request or proposed solution

GPSLatitude, GPSLatitudeRef, GPSLongitude and GPSLongitudeRef should be in the EXIF data. Right now exif does not include those on iOS platform

Alternatives

No response

Additional Information

It seems it is implemented #2284 but works only on Android, not on iOS.

Example repo

Additionally, we should be able to retrieve information after capture or selection from gallery. If we are selecting an image via the prompt, there's no way of knowing whether the image was captured or selected from gallery.

the provided repository is not accessible, can you make it public or provide the correct url?

I apologize, it's public now

I've verified that the code is correct, as you can see, the geolocation information is correctly returned when picking an image from the gallery that has geolocation information.

But when taking a new picture from the app, the native component used by the plugin doesn't capture geolocation information, so the plugin can't return it because it's not there to return.

Excuse me, why are my comments marked as abuse? And why was the issue closed? It persists…

It seems that no coordinates are returned when a photo(s) are picked on an Android device - see ionic-team/capacitor-plugins#2147
