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

• cordova-plugin-camera@5.0.0

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.
