iOS - Getting the Time/Date a Photo was taken from CameraRoll

I am trying to parse out the Exif data from images (CameraRoll, CameraUI) - however in the development environment, the photos give me 30-40 properties containing lots of information about the photo (date taken, GPS information, phone make, model, etc.,)

When I run in iOS, I only get 4 (Orientation, ColorSpace, PixelYDimension, PixelXDimension).

I have tried numerous AS3 Exif libraries, and each of them only return the above 4 properties.

Is it possible to get the time the photograph was actually taken from the CameraRoll, and how do I go about this?

Thanks.

On AIR iOS, limited information is present in the image exif header. You might want to raise a feature request for getting the complete exif header.

Thanks - how does one go about raising a feature request?

So there is no way of within AIR iOS of when someone selects an image from the CameraRoll, finding out the date that photograph was taken?

At present you cannot get photograph date information, when user select an image from the CameraRoll in AIR iOS.

You can raise a feature request at https://bugbase.adobe.com/?event=newFeature
