Description

When making the following call using iOS 8 on an iPhone 6 then taking a new picture, the XCode console display the error "Snapshotting a view that has not been rendered results in an empty snapshot. Ensure your view has been rendered at least once before snapshotting or snapshot after screen updates." and the image preview screen becomes completely black:

navigator.camera.getPicture(
	function() { ... }, 
	function() { ... }, 
	{ 
		quality: 40,
		destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
		sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
		allowEdit : false,
		encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
		correctOrientation: true,
		targetWidth: 600,
		targetHeight: 800,
		saveToPhotoAlbum: true
	}
);

The "Re-Take" and "Use Photo" buttons at the bottom of the screen appear and function properly though.

I'm using the latest camera plugin code base located at: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera

This behavior is not occurring using the same code with iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5.
