### `cordova-plugin-camera`

* **Android 13 Support**

In this release of the `camera` plugin, the `maxSdkTarget` for the `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission has been set to `32`. This change was made as the permission has been deprecated and replaced by Android 13's more granular permissions, `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` and `READ_MEDIA_VIDEO`. Additionally, the `getPermissions` method has been improved to accurately fetch the required permissions based on the Android version. If Android 13 and above, it will also fetch based on media type.

Furthermore, to support the new granular permissions and Android 13 (SDK 33), we have raised the minimum requirement for `cordova-android` to version `12.0.0`. This version of Cordova-Android specifically includes the necessary updates to handle Android 13 and compile your project with the new permissions successfully.

* **Removed Deprecated Platforms**
* **Retain Image Exif Data from Photo Library (iOS)**

### `cordova-plugin-media`

* **Android 13 Support**

In this release of the `media` plugin, the depdendency of the file plugin has been bumped to `8.0.0` which introduced Android 13 support. This support includes the Android 13's more granular permissions `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES`, `READ_MEDIA_VIDEO`, and `READ_MEDIA_AUDIO`.

Additional we have raised the minimum requirement for `cordova-android` to version `12.0.0`.
