Bug Report

Ionic version: [ ] 4.x [x] **5.5.2

Current behavior: My app can either take photos or load photos from the gallery. When taking the photos I can find valid longitude and latitude in the exif data. exif: .... GPSLatitude: "36/1,50/1,38958360/1000000" GPSLatitudeRef: "N" GPSLongitude: "174/1,45/1,43773480/1000000" GPSLongitudeRef: "W" ...

Loading the same photo from the gallery afterwards the longitude and latitude are shown as

exif: GPSLatitude: "0/1,0/1,0/1" GPSLatitudeRef: "" GPSLongitude: "0/1,0/1,0/1" GPSLongitudeRef: "" ...

Investigating the photo with an Exif reader I can see that the exif data is available, but Ionic replaces lon lat with strange values Expected behavior: I expect the same lat / lon to be shown no matter whether I take a photo or load the photo from the gallery

Steps to reproduce:

Related code:


  this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition({enableHighAccuracy: true}).then((pos: Geoposition) => {
        Camera.getPhoto({
          resultType: CameraResultType.Uri,
          source: CameraSource.Prompt,
          quality: 100
        }).then((capturedPhoto) => {
          if (this.platform.is('hybrid')) {
            console.log('!hybrid');
            console.log('capturedPhoto', capturedPhoto);
