Description

On ios when using camera getPicture with saveToPhotoAlbum option and destinationType as FileURI, although the captured image is saved to photo album but the returned file URI point to the temp file. It should actually return the URI of image in photo album. Sample code here..

function onSuccess(imageData) {
   alert(JSON.stringify(imageData));
}
				
function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
				
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 20,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,saveToPhotoAlbum: true
});
