Description

I recently updated the camera plugin to 2.3.0.
My app (Woopter) use the camera plugin with FILE_URI and correctOrientation = true and the source is the CAMERA

I noticed that the pictures were showing correctly only on android. On IOS and on the server they were WRONGLY ROTATED.

What happened is that the picture is keeping the ORIGINAL EXIF after the orientation was corrected. So, in systems that uses the Exif, the picture was being rotated twice. (The Exif is making the correct oriented picture to rotated).
