Description/Current Behaviour

Expected Behaviour

Steps to Reproduce

Set fixOrientation to true in android device

Additionals

Code example: new project without navigation, just 1 screen.

class App extends React.Component {
  private _cameraRef;

  private _handleRef = ref => {
    this._cameraRef = ref;
  };

  private _takePicture = async () => {
    const image = await this._cameraRef.takePictureAsync({
      quality: this.CAMERA_QUALITY,
      fixOrientation: true,
      width: this.CAMERA_WIDTH,
      pauseAfterCapture: false,
      orientation: 'portrait',
    });

    RNFS.unlink(image.uri).catch(() => {});
  };

  render() {
    return (
        <View>
          <RNCamera
            style={{height: '100%', width: '100%'}}
            ref={this._handleRef}>
            <TouchableOpacity onPress={this._takePicture}>
              <Text>press here!</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>
          </RNCamera>
        </View>
    );
  }
}
