Description

Photos taken by the camera plugin do not contain meta data and there's no option for including it. Can an option be made in the plugin to include that data in the image?

Research direction

Start at the @nativescript/camera plugin entry point and inspect its iOS and Android photo-taking implementations. Determine how an option would be exposed and verify that enabling it preserves photo metadata on both platforms; done means the behavior is documented and covered by the relevant tests.
