ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync does not open in the full screen on iOS devises

Summary

After upgrading to SDK 41, the Camera view does not open to the full screen with ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync on iOS devices any more . On iPad it opens in the center of the screen overlaying the screen it was opened from, which looks very weird. on iPhone, it also looks like an overlay on top of the parent screen, and you can see the portion of the parent header. Another indicator that it does not open to the full screen, it that there is a grey shaded area blow the 1x, 2x zoom indicator. If you drag the top portion (the one that has flash cam control) up, the grey area under the zoom indicator disappears (slides down). When you release the finger, everything snaps back to previous state as shown on the attachment photo. The gray area is blocking part of the photo view, which makes it harder to understand the boundaries of the photo being taken. It also gets in a way of the zoom control working properly – definitely something is not working the way it was intended.

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Barebones project was created to demonstrate the issue https://github.com/echowaves/CameraBug Just install it and run yarn; yarn start, then open on your iPhone or iPad with expo. Click a button (the only button on a screen) to launch a camera view and see that it does not open to the full screen.

Here is the line where the ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync is invoked.

Can anyone advise when this bug is scheduled to be fixed? This is pretty annoying issue which ruins UX for a lot of apps that use Camera.

Is this something that we can hope to get a patch release for? This is a big deal for User Experience and there is no work around available. Or this is something that is scheduled for sdk 43 to be fixed in?
