iOS, a picture taken in the landscape orientation is captured as a portrait photo.

[orest]

Describe the bug I might be doing something wrong, but pictures taken using iPhone X in the landscape orientation are captured as portrait photos. Android works correctly. I can not figure out how to take landscape picture in iOS. i tried to play with rotateWhenOrientationChanged without any luck.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start Preview

 const cameraPreviewOptions: CameraPreviewOptions = {
            position: 'rear',
            parent: 'cameraPreview',
            className: 'cameraPreview',
            rotateWhenOrientationChanged: true,
            toBack: true,
            storeToFile: true,
        };

        await CameraPreview.start(cameraPreviewOptions);

3. Rotate the phone into the landscape
4. Capture the photo

const cameraPreviewPictureOptions: CameraPreviewPictureOptions = {
            quality: 90,
        };

        const result = await CameraPreview.capture(cameraPreviewPictureOptions);

6. Captured image will be a portrait image with the picture rotated 90 degrees. Essentially its impossible to capture landscape image in iOS

Expected behavior Captured image should be landscape

Thank you so much! It looks like it's working. I will give it a better test over the weekend. Greatly appreciated!

@orest Were you able to test this? I'd like to merge it into the next release if it's working.

Yes, I was able to perform additional testing on iOS and did a quick regression on Android, and everything is working as expected. Thank you, guys! Awesome job!
