Description

When client tries to upload video from his iCloud he gets null in SuccessCallback. It is really frustrating that user can see videos from iCloud but plugin can not get path of remote video. Probably if there is video that plugin can see but cant get file_uri of that video it would be great idea that user should not see this video at all. Here is my code example:

function onSuccess(videoURI) {
    alert('videoURI:' + videoURI)

// here i get null 
    if (device.platform === 'iOS'){
       
    }else{


        /**
         * Android branch
         *
         */
 
    }

}

navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, deferred.reject, {
    quality: 90,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
    sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM,
    mediaType: Camera.MediaType.VIDEO
});

Plugin version is 1.2.0
