             Summary: getPicture using PHOTOLIBRARY Slow As Hell on iPad
                 Key: CB-9732
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9732
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin Camera
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
         Environment: iOS 8, iOS 9, iPad
            Reporter: Alan Neveu


When using an iPad on iOS 8.4 or iOS 9, if you make a getPicture call and pass sourceType:navigator.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY it takes from 30 seconds to 3 minutes for the "Photos" popover to appear. This only happens on iPad, not on iPhone.

This blog article talks about the problem and how it affects lots of apps, but it says that Facebook and Instagram seem to have worked around this problem by only loading the most recent photos into that photo selector popup, rather than all photos from forever. Here's the link to that blog article:

Here is another forum in which people are discussing this issue:

Any ideas on how to either fix or work around it? I find it very strange that the problem only happens on iPad and not iPhone. But it seems that iPad is the only one that does the popover thing. So it definitely has to do with that, and in fact maybe the problem is just that the popover itself is taking a long time, I'm not sure.

Help!
