Capture from Camera and library not working on IOS

[bandeto45]

Bug Report

Problem

On the latest plugin version 7.0.0, there is a problem with IOS.

What is expected to happen?

To open the camera or library and get path of the image.

What does actually happen?

There is no response when I call the camera.getPicture().

Information

In the cordova plugin camera 6.0.x works only using PHOTOLIBRARY but CAMERA does not. For Version 7.0.0 PHOTOLIBRARY and CAMERA no response at all.

Command or Code

var get_destinationType = {
            file_uri : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
            data_uri : Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL 
            }
        var srcType = {gal : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY, capture : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA}
        var options = {
            
            quality: 100,
            destinationType: get_destinationType[file_desc],
            // In this app, dynamically set the picture source, Camera or photo gallery
            sourceType: srcType[tp],
            encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.PNG,
            mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
            correctOrientation: true
        }
        let cam = this;
        console.log(options)
        let success_img = (img)=>{
            sessionStorage.setItem('uri', img);
            console.log(img)
            
            
        }
        let error_img = (e)=>{
            get_media.f7.preloader.hide();
            this.f7.preloader.hide();

            console.log("Error getting picture: " + e);
        }
        navigator.camera.getPicture(success_img, error_img, options);   
    }
