Camera

EOL Notice

Camera will reach its end-of-life on July 1, 2024, and will no longer receive updates or support. Please see Support Policy for additional information.

The Camera plugin offers the ability to take a photo, capture video and choose images from the system's image library.

Installation

If you have not already setup Ionic Enterprise in your app, follow the one-time setup steps.

Next, install the plugin:

npm install @ionic-enterprise/camera
npx cap sync

Preferences (iOS)

  • CameraUsesGeolocation (boolean, defaults to false). For capturing JPEGs, set to true to get geolocation data in the EXIF header. This will trigger a request for geolocation permissions if set to true.
Cordova Usage

Add the preference in the config.xml

<preference name="CameraUsesGeolocation" value="false" />

Capacitor Usage

Add the preference in the capacitor.config.json

"cordova": {
  "preferences": {
    "CameraUsesGeolocation": "false"
  }
}

Using with AndroidX Projects (Android)

This plugin relies on the legacy Android Support libraries and will not work in projects using the newer AndroidX libraries without using the jetifier tool to patch them.

npm install jetifier
npx jetifier

To run it automatically when dependencies are installed, add "postinstall": "jetifier" in the package.json.

Made this pattern consistent in the entire test.
