Photo taken on iPad rotation
Honestly, I'm not sure if this is a Geocortex, AGS, or iOS issue. When I attach a photo to a feature by taking a picture on an iPad, the photo appears to have a fixed orientation.
For example, I take a photo, attach it to a feature, and when I view it in ArcMap it appears normally oriented (right side up). Then if I rotate the iPad 180 degrees, the screen orientation automatically flips, and I take another photo, the attached photo is being stored upside down.
Is this the expected behavior? I would have expected that the photo orientation would adjust the same way the screen orientation does. Just to be sure, I tested using the regular camera app on the iPad, and the photo is always stored right side up regardless of the orientation of the iPad.
I'm using GE 4.6 and the GVH 2.7. I tested attaching photos both through a workflow and using the default attach tool in the viewer and am seeing the same results. The device is an iPad Air 2 with iOS 10.1.1.

I ran across the same issue and if you hold the iPad in landscape with the home button to the right the picture displays correctly in a Geocortex web map. It's not perfect but at least the orientation is predictable. 0 -
Yep, I can confirm that was the orientation that worked for me too. However, there's one extra little snafu: if you use the front facing camera, it flips the orientation, so the home button has to be on the left.
And yes, I have an actual business use for taking spatially-referenced selfies.0
