Description

Hi guys, I'm building Cordova 8.0 on a Samsung cell phone with Android 5.1. I'm using cordova.pluging.camera to take a photo and upload it to a server, and then present it in an app. But the photo is uploaded to the server rotated 90 degrees and so is displayed in the application. I have tried to modify the correctOrientation option but I can not make it work. I need help to correctly configure this option, I am new to mobile application development.

Camera.js
var correctOrientation = !!options.correctOrientation;

Research direction

Start with Camera.js and the `correctOrientation` option shown in the issue, then reproduce the upload flow on a Samsung phone running Android 5.1. Done means the captured image reaches the server and is displayed with the correct orientation; the issue does not name a test or another implementation file.
