IOS13.2 Taking a quick photo shows black and 'Use photo' doesn't return success/error callback
Bug Report
Problem
What is expected to happen?
A quick selection should take a normal picture, and using it should return the success/error callback.
What does actually happen?
On opening the plugin, click quickly on 'Take photo' (like very quickly), the photo is a black screen. Clicking on 'Use photo' will close the plugin but will not properly call the success/error callback
Environment, Platform, Device
Only repro on iOS13.2

Hello, I have the same problem. Do you manage to make it works?
No luck so far!
This is a common issue if you're using the
DATA_URLdestination.
What do you mean? Is there a work around?
If you use DATA_URL, I would try using FILE_URI instead.
I explain why in more detail in another thread here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/528#issuecomment-556095740
But TL;DR version is, you're probably seeing a black screen because the javascript is too busy encoding the image in a base64 encoded string which is very inefficient and with modern phones are rather large.
If you wait long enough it will eventually finish creating the base64 string or it will crash due to memory constraints.

That did not fix it, sadly.
