Bug Report

Problem

Using PICTURE_SOURCE_TYPE_SAVED_PHOTO_ALBUM as source on IOS 15 does not return any callback even though you have selected the image.

What is expected to happen?

The image url should be returned.

What does actually happen?

Nothing. The image selector is closed and no callback is triggered.

same for me - when you set CameraUsesGeolocation to false in your config.xml it works - but that's not a solution, just a workaround

Thanks for the fix.

But is there a reason why CameraUsesGeolocation isn't working with the library?

sorry I really don't remember, but it was something with a permission that the geolocation could not be extracted from the image or so.
