getImageMetaData width/height does not respect orientation on iOS

[terrysahaidak]

Current behavior

When we get image metadata, it returns us imageWidth and imageHeight, but when we pick that image, the image picker returns flipped values. Since imageWidth and imageHeight are actually "default" orientation values. These values are matching the exif values where we have orientation.

Here is an example object:

{"ImageHeight": 3024, "ImageWidth": 4032, "Orientation": 6, "exif": {"ColorModel": "RGB", "DPIHeight": 72, "DPIWidth": 72, "Depth": 8, "Orientation": 6, "PixelHeight": 3024, "PixelWidth": 4032, "ProfileName": "Display P3", "extension": "jpg", "size": 387221, "{Exif}": {"ColorSpace": 65535, "PixelXDimension": 4032, "PixelYDimension": 3024}, "{JFIF}": {"DensityUnit": 0, "JFIFVersion": [Array], "XDensity": 72, "YDensity": 72}, "{TIFF}": {"Orientation": 6, "ResolutionUnit": 2, "XResolution": 72, "YResolution": 72}}, "extension": "jpg", "size": 387221}

And what picker returned me:

{"height": 4032, "width": 3024}

Expected behavior

I would assume that imageWidth and imageHeight would respect the orientation and would show the same values as image picker does, but the exif values should be the original values and the orientation if you really need it.

Reproducible Steps And Demo

• Take an image in portrait orientation on an iPhone
• use expo image picker to get the image in JS with its width/height
• use getImageMetaData to get metadata
• the width and height in metadata are flipped

This seems to be true also for the getVideoMetaData but it does not have the orientation, here is an example response:
