How to save gps data in image on iOS

Expo SDK
1

When using ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync, the EXIF data does not include GPS tags on iOS (as documented). It it possible to somehow set the GPS tags in the image after the image is taken?

Hey @daniel-overstellar,

I pinged about this internally. I’ll let you know what I find out, but my preliminary thought is this won’t be possible.

Cheers,

Unfortunately I have to confirm my suspicion. This isn’t possible as we have no way to manipulate the EXIF tags.

Thanks for checking. Do you have any idea how it can be solved? Is it a limitation in React Native or iOS?
