Description

I am building a hybrid app using

• cordova-plugin-camera @ 2.0.0
• Cordova @ 5.3.2
• Cordova iOS @ 3.9.2
• iOS 9.2 on iPhone 6 (64GB)
• Ionic Lib @ 1.1

My options are:

var options = {
                    quality: 50,
                    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
                    sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
                    encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.PNG,
                    saveToPhotoAlbum: false, 
                    correctOrientation: true,
                    targetWidth: 700,
                    targetHeight: 700
                };

This only started happening recently when i switched from DATA_URL to FILE_URI. I have gone back and forth trying to figure out the root cause, but even after going back to DATA_URL the app is still crashing.

The app crashes 99% of the time when loading the camera running the mobile app in Xcode (Sometimes I don't even have to take picture). After the app crashes, an Xcode alert pops up and says "Lost connection to "Ramon's iPhone".

The app crashes about 25% of the time when running the app without Xcode. There are times when it goes on a streak of crashing repeatedly for several minutes.

If i don't use the app for an hour or so, and then I try taking a photograph, the likelihood of the app crashing increases to about 80% of the time.

If there are other ways to provide more info, please advise and I'm happen to help.
