Hello again!

We seem to have some issues when using RhoMobile and the Camera API on iOS and Android devices. We access the Camera with either of the following options:

# When the user clicks the "Camera" button, we start the camera
Camera::take_picture( callback_url, {} )

# When the user clicks the "Add file" button, we start it with the file picker.
Camera::choose_picture( callback_url, {} )

# In both cases, the {} is an options hash with the default settings.

This method for starting the camera is documented here: http://docs.rhomobile.com/en/2.2.0/rhodesapi/camera-api

Now we run into 2 different problems. Lets see if we can solve this in one discussion:

Android (RhoStudio 4.0)

Using the "Add file" button with this method makes our app crash. We get the default crash message "  has crashed" and a close button. The only thing I can retrieve is this log message from the android logcat.

I think this looks like a permission that is not set in the Android manifest. But shouldnt we have nothing to do with this?

iOS (RhoStudio 2.2 and 4.0)

Whenever a user starts the camera and takes a picture, this picture gets turned sideways and has a huge black square on it. An example would be this:

This is a picture taken in an application made with RhoMobile from an iphone, and I can tell that my collegue normally does not look like this

Can anyone provide me with some information about these issues?
