Hello,

I am proposing a new feature for the camera plugin: the ability to manually
dismiss camera popover views and view controllers on iOS.

I encountered a need for this function when implementing a timeout based
logout on my app. If the user timed out while sitting there with the camera
open, I had no way to close the camera view controller and it would stay
open on top of the login page. When they finally took a photo it would exit
the camera and they would be on the login page. I would like to be able to
call navigator.camera.dismiss() before I send a user to the login view
after the timeout.

dismiss would not take any callback handlers, instead it would trigger the
error callback set with getPicture and send a message stating the camera
was dismissed.

I have created a Jira issue here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9980

And I have submitted a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/117

Thanks,
Sarah Goldman
