Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * An issue with geolocation and camera that affects all        *
  * versions of Cordova on iOS 8                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Basically what is going on is that Apple changed the API and *
  * the permissions for geolocation in iOS 8, so there needs to  *
  * be special handling in Cordova to deal with that. Otherwise  *
  * the geolocation services won't have permission to run. Since *
  * the camera attempts to insert geolocation data in the EXIF   *
  * header of pictures, the camera is also affected.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Cordova is fixed for the affected versions of Worklight:     *
  * 5.0.6, 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2.                                    *
