Description

According to the README, the only Browser Quirk is:

Can only return photos as Base64-encoded image.

However this is not the case from my testing. Instead, I get this result:

blob:http://localhost:8000/259e6e9e-bb2f-47d0-939d-51461bd7d47c

Also, the image is not resized, it's returned in its natural size.

This is the options object used:

var options = {
  quality: 100,
  destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
  sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM,
  encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
  mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
  allowEdit: true,
  correctOrientation: true,
  targetHeight: 240,
  targetWidth: 240
}

Using Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URI does return a base64 encoded image but it does not resize it either, it returns in its original size.
