Description

Using app in landscape on iphone and open the camera using a plugin (cordova-plugin-media-capture).  The camera opens in portrait mode.  Dialogs to request permissions are therefore rotated, as is button text.

Replicated with HelloCordova app with addition of cordova-plugin-media-capture.

Using cordova-plugin-screen-orientation, we can see that an event to change the orientation to portrait-primary is fired when the camera is opened.

 

Does not affect ipads.
