ngImgCrop in ionic iOS throwing [Generic] Creating an image format with an unknown type is an error

[hschaffer22]

I'm working on an ionic app that uses ngImgCrop and ngFileUpload. My code runs perfectly as a web app with AngularJS, but, when I convert it to an Ionic app on iOS, it throws this error:

[Generic] Creating an image format with an unknown type is an error

Here's the html:

<div ngf-drop ng-model="picFile" ngf-pattern="image/*"
             class="cropArea"
             ngf-fix-orientation="true"
             ngf-select>
            <img-crop image="picFile  | ngfDataUrl"                 
            result-image="croppedDataUrl" ng-init="croppedDataUrl=''"
            area-type="square"
            result-image-aspect="4x9">
            </img-crop>
        </div>

I tested to see if the fork was causing the issue, but it persisted even when I removed the aspect ratio and used the original file.

Any help would be much appreciated.
