[Feature]: Add geolocation EXIF data to images captured with the camera

[nelsonvassalo]

Description

Add the additional EXIF data to images captured with the camera, in the same way images from the gallery already do.

Platforms

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Request or proposed solution

GPSLatitude, GPSLatitudeRef, GPSLongitude and GPSLongitudeRef should be in the EXIF data. Right now exif does not include those on iOS platform

Alternatives

No response

Additional Information

It seems it is implemented on Android but not on iOS only.

It seems that this is not available (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/68075175/5151355). I also faced a similar issue but with the capacitor camera-preview plugin and had to add the missing GPS EXIF details myself - see capacitor-community/camera-preview#164 (comment)

@ryaa Yeah I'm also doing that but it's not a good practice to repeat work that we know is done by the camera once already. This information should just be available.
