- Make clear, that it is not necessary to use this plugin for selecting images or using the camera. Native browser features can be used, like `<input>`.
- Add links to MDN documentation for `<input type="file">`, attribute `accept` and `capture`
- Suggested by @erisu
- Rename to `CDVUIImagePickerController ` since it inherits from `UIImagePickerController` and is not only for taking pictures
- This is a breaking change because it renames an externally visible interface.
- `pickerResult.assetIdentifier` was wrongly used to get metadata, while `PHPickerConfiguration` was initialized with `init` which will not return any asset identifiers. Only `initWithPhotoLibrary:` would work. Since `init` is more flexible and lets the picker return items that aren’t PHAssets (e.g., cloud/shared providers) we use that and do not rely anymore on `assetIdentifier` to get the image data. The image data will now get by `[NSItemProvider loadDataRepresentationForTypeIdentifier:]` instead of `[PHImageManager requestImageDataAndOrientationForAsset:]`. The image data is needed to get meta data.
- A user commented that`window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL` will fail when using the uri result for picking a video with PHPicker: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/935#issuecomment-3742776758. The temporary video file provided by PHPickerViewController gets deleted when the completion handler exits. The copying of the video file was wrongly done on the main thread, rather than on the completion handler background thread.
- Report error to webview, if the video file could not successful copied to the temp directory
* Code refactoring and documentation
- Renamed `createTmpVideo` to `copyFileToTemp`, since it has no special code for just video files
- Log errors, if something is wrong in `copyFileToTemp `
- Document property `hasPendingOperation`
- Remove `dispatch_async` for returning `CDVPluginResult`. Internally, `CDVCommandDelegate` has a queue of plugin messages to send and it ensures that those are always sent to the webview on the main thread.
- Only use `dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ...` for UI operations
- Some minor code formatting for calling `CDVPluginResult` initializer
- Removed method `urlTransformer` which was deprecated in cordova-ios 8 and has no use anymore
- Removed unused method `integerValueForKey`: This method is legacy and was nowhere used
- Resolve method `processPHPickerImage`. This extra method is not needed
- Replace `IsAtLeastiOSVersion` with `@available`, `IsAtLeastiOSVersion` is deprecated
- Remove `IsAtLeastiOSVersion(@"8.0")` check for [locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]. This plugins supports minimum iOS 11.
- Documentation and small refactoring regarding gettting GPS location for capturing JPEGs
- Use modern code for working with dictionaries
- fix: deprecation of `requestImageDataForAsset:options:resultHandler:`, which was deprecated in iOS 13. Replaced with `requestImageDataAndOrientationForAsset:options:resultHandler:`, which was introduced in iOS 11.
* Some cleanup regarding temporary file handling
- Renamed `createTmpVideo`to `copyFileToTemp` and keep the method generic, since it has no special code for video files
- Renamed `tempFilePath` to `tempFilePathForExtension`, since it creates unique path only for a file extension
- Document `tempFilePathForExtension`
- Refactoring and documentation of method `cleanup:`
- Moved `cleanup`, `tempFilePath` and `copyFileToTemp` at one place, since they are related
- creating unique temporary files with milliseconds: This is more precise than just using seconds
- On iPadOS it was possible to configure a popover for setting the position, width and arrow position of the popover. The code used the deprecated `UIPopoverController`, which would have to be fixed. To keep the plugin also maintainable, this was removed.
- The popover could repositioned with a `CameraPopoverHandle` on a `window.onorientationchange`. This was removed also.
- Removed documentation for popover from `README.md`
- Does not need any permissions for reading images
- The PHPickerViewController class is an alternative to UIImagePickerController. PHPickerViewController improves stability and reliability, and includes several benefits to developers and users, such as the following:
- Deferred image loading and recovery UI
- Reliable handling of large and complex assets, like RAW and panoramic images
- User-selectable assets that aren’t available for UIImagePickerController
- Configuration of the picker to display only Live Photos
- Availability of PHLivePhoto objects without library access
- Stricter validations against invalid inputs
- See documentation of PHPickerViewController: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photosui/phpickerviewcontroller?language=objc
- Added tests for PHPickerViewController in `CameraTest.m`
* Documentation and formatting
- Document `takePicture` and `showCameraPicker` in `CDVCamera.m`
- A pragmas for UIImagePickerControllerDelegate methods and CLLocationManager methods
- Format some long methods declarations to multi-line instead single-line for better readability
- Remove unnecessry `dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue() ...` in `takePicture` before calling `showCameraPicker`. This is already done in `showCameraPicker`.
- Source out code for permission denied alert dialog when accessing the camera or UIImagePickerController on iOS < 14 for picking images
* feat(ios): proper formatting of methods
- Use linux brace style: A brace have to be on a new line for method declarations
- Remove unnecessary whitespaces in method declrations
* doc: readme update
- Better document usage descriptions
- `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` not needed for iOS 14+ when only picking images
- Improve formatting for xml, js
- sourceType `SAVEDPHOTOALBUM` is the same as `PHOTOLIBRARY` on Android and iOS 14+
- Use `PHOTOLIBRARY` as sourceType instead of `SAVEDPHOTOALBUM` in photo picker example
* Android: Document `SAVEDPHOTOALBUM``
- Make clear that `SAVEDPHOTOALBUM` is the same like `PHOTOLIBRARY` and has only an effect on iOS < 14
- Format code when creating image chooser and document the request code parameter
- Increased cordova-ios version to 7.x to make newer features availabe
- Removed wrong cordovaDependency for `5.0.4-dev`. `cordovaDependencies` matches only against npm released versions.
* refactor(android): Rework permission management to make WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE optional
* removed unused getPermissions API
* Proper error if WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is required but missing the declaration
* removed obsolete hasPermissions API
