react-native-vision-camera: 🐛 takePhoto always returns asset with landscape orientation on iOS

What were you trying to do?

I am trying to capture a photo with portrait orientation. The orientation prop is set to “portrait”.

Reproduceable Code

<ReanimatedCamera
                      ref={camera}
                      style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
                      device={device}
                      format={format}
                      fps={fps}
                      hdr={enableHdr}
                      lowLightBoost={device.supportsLowLightBoost && enableNightMode}
                      isActive={isActive}
                      onInitialized={onInitialized}
                      onError={onError}
                      enableZoomGesture={true}
                      animatedProps={cameraAnimatedProps}
                      photo={true}
                      audio={true}
                      orientation="portrait"
                    />

const takePhotoOptions = useMemo<TakePhotoOptions & TakeSnapshotOptions>(
    () => ({
      photoCodec: 'jpeg',
      enableAutoStabilization: true,
      qualityPrioritization: 'balanced',
      flash: flash,
      skipMetadata: true,
    }),
    [flash],
  );

  const takePicture = useCallback(async () => {
    if (camera.current) {
      try {
        if (camera.current == null) throw new Error('Camera ref is null!');

        console.log('Taking photo...');
        const photo = await camera.current.takePhoto(takePhotoOptions);
        onPhotoCaptured(photo)
      } catch (e) {
        console.error('Failed to take photo!', e);
      }
    }
  }, [onPhotoCaptured, takePhotoOptions])

Also confirmed that the device is locked to portrait.

What happened instead?

Media asset returned is in landscape mode
