Description

We in our Ionic2 app we use the cordova-camera plugin for our users to take pictures and upload them to our server. It turned out that images from Samsung devices did not contain the correct exif orientation for portrait pictures.

After some tests we noticed that when the user uses the Samsung camera app on their device there was no problem. However when they make a picture via the cordova camera plugin the orientation isn't correct. It looks like the cordova-camera-plugin doesn't write the correct exif for orientation in the file.
