Description

getPicture has become very unstable on previously working code, affecting both Phonegap 1.4.1 and Cordova 1.5.0. Contributing factors, since last working build I have upgraded Xcode to 4.3.2 (from whatever the last version was) and iPhone to iOS 5.1 from 5.0.1.

Memory warning is received on displaying camera, app crashes when you select 'use'. Restarting device usually resolves problem for a limited amount of time. Problem is intermittent and sometime difficult to replicate. Selecting from Photo library works fine.

Options used:

var options =

{ quality: 40, sourceType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI }

;

See attached for example crash log.
