We are happy to announce that we have just released an update to our camera plugin!

Release Highlights

In this major release, we have:

removed the DestinationType of NATIVE_URI that was used only in the iOS and Windows platform. For iOS, the NATIVE_URI returned an ALAssetsLibrary that had been deprecated and does not work with the WKWevView.
removed the CordovaUri class helper that used fuzzy logic to guess the image path from the content URL. This process was not necessary as we know the file path beforehand.
bumped the project requirement definition. This plugin version requires Cordova CLI >= 9.0.0. If building for Android, this plugin version will also require the Cordova Android platform >= 9.0.0.
changed the location of the temporary saved images from external to internal cache.

Changes include:

GH-629 feat: migrate to @cordova/eslint-config@3.x
GH-588 feat(android): Cache images in device storage, devices have enough space now.

GH-632 fix(android): return error if file url is null
GH-510 fix(android): use provider prefix to avoid conflicts other plugin providers
GH-612 fix(ios): tempFilePath called twice if using CameraUsesGeolocation
GH-580 fix(ios): return copy of video when picking from gallery on iOS 13
GH-551 fix: UI API called on a background thread (#550, #530, #447)
GH-306 fix: ImagePicker returning same image
