[Flutter] Flutter camera - handle the pictures orientation without forced rotation

My colleague and I heve been struggling a lot with pictures orientation using the flutter camera package

What we try to achieve is a native OS camera behaviour, where the picture taken will always be "naturally" oriented regardless of the device orientation when taking the picture.

When taking a picture of a tree, we want the saved pciture to have the leaves at the top, and the roots à the bottom.





Has anyone achieved this without having to rotate the image on save ? Using (maybe) the right combination of :

lockCaptureOrientation method

and

unlockCaptureOrientation method

Using later rotation or exif editing has proven to be unreliable, because the behaviour are very diffretn from Android to iOs.

And I cannot belive that the pugin does not handle this natively, given the importance of this issue.

What are we missing ?

Thanks a lot for your help
