How to get a picture from the photo library with PhoneGap on iOS?

Question

I'm using the following code to try to select a photo from the iOS photo library:

navigator.camera.getPicture(this.onCaptureSuccess, this.onCaptureFail, {
    allowEdit: true,
    correctOrientation: true,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
    soureType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
    targetHeight: 315,
    targetWidth: 320
});

I'm using iOS 7 (7.0.4) on an iPhone 5s and PhoneGap 3.3.0. No matter what I do it always brings the camera up. What am I doing wrong?

Local client. I'm running 'phonegap build ios' in Terminal and then hitting 'Run' in Xcode to run it on my phone. — Darrell Brogdon, Jan 06 '14 at 22:10
Yep. I can take pictures just fine. I just can't get it to allow me to select from existing photos. — Darrell Brogdon, Jan 06 '14 at 22:13

Think I found it:

soureType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,

should be:

sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,

sourceType has a typo in it. Maybe thats it?

I'm going to have to wait until I get home to check this. If that's the problem I'm going to nominate myself for the "OhMyGodICantBelieveIDidThat" award. – Darrell Brogdon Jan 06 '14 at 22:35

Below code is for access gallery photos:

 Camera.sourceType = Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY 

 or

 Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM,

then a photo chooser dialog is shown, from which a photo from the album can be selected.

That doesn't work either. How is that different from setting the sourceType in the cameraOptions param of getPicture()? – Darrell Brogdon Jan 04 '14 at 05:18
