Hi George,

you can access the hack on my fork here:

https://github.com/lorinbeer/incubator-cordova-ios/tree/CB-1246

the only change is in CDVCamera.m, which returns a json string with the file uli and image metadata, instead of just the uli. Note that this breaks expected behaviour and isn't a final solution.

exif data key: "{Exif}" 
tiff data key: "{TIFF}"

Here's an example of how to use the new return value
bq.
navigator.camera.getPicture( 
function(data) {
    var img = document.getElementById('camera_image');
    img.style.visibility = "visible";
    img.style.display = "block";
    //parse and display the entire metadata block
    data = JSON.parse(data);
    console.log(data);
    //access file uli
    img.src = data.file_uri;
    document.getElementById('camera_status').innerHTML = "Success";
    },
    function(e) {
    console.log("Error getting picture: " + e);
    document.getElementById('camera_status').innerHTML = "Error getting picture.";
    },
    { quality: 50, destinationType:
      Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI, sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA});
};

> When getting a resized image from camera.getPicture(), the exif data is stripped out (which I understand is a hard thing to keep). However it would really help if we knew the original date that the photo was taken. Are we able to get either the lastmodified date of the original image passed through in the success method, or even better send through the exif value for date created?
> Thanks for your help,
