`Image` displays JPG photos taken in Portrait orientation in Landscape orientation (regression in 8.0.10)

[zeldafreak]

Description

After updating .NET MAUI from v8.0.7 to v8.0.10, photos taken in Portrait orientation on my iPad Pro (11", 4th-gen, iOS v17.4) using the built-in Camera app and rear-facing camera are displayed in Landscape orientation.

I'm able to reproduce this reliably by taking photos in the Camera app (or in a custom app that uses iOS APIs to take photos), but not with the MediaPicker, so my reproduction repository comes with a photo I took. I think this is because MediaPicker always returns the photo in PNG format, and this issue seems to only occur due to metadata (EXIF?) in the JPEG file.

You can reliably reproduce this issue by simply switching between 8.0.7 and 8.0.10. The screenshots below are from my reproduction repository, and the only difference between them is the .NET MAUI version the project is referencing.

If you just want an example image that can be used to reproduce this, you can find one here.

NOTE: This might affect other platforms/devices, but I'm specifically calling out iPad Pro because that's where I've reproduced it.

.NET MAUI v8.0.7

.NET MAUI v8.0.10

Steps to Reproduce

• Take a photo on an iPad's rear-facing camera using the Camera app while holding the device in Portrait mode.
• Save the photo to your library
  • It may be important that Settings -> Camera -> Formats is set to Most Compatible (not High Efficiency)
• Create a new MAUI Application
• Copy the JPG file from your Photo library into Resources\Images
• Add an Image control that references your JPG file:

<Image
    Source="photo.jpg"
    HorizontalOptions="Fill"
    VerticalOptions="Fill"
    Aspect="AspectFit" />

• Run the app and see that your photo is not displayed in Portrait mode.

Looks like this could be the culprit: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/19411/files#diff-48977a1f6983e847819315f0fcab9bc88a0bf15ba282e24616895a7c65713774R149

here to report a similar thing.
the captured images all have the same orientations on 8.0.7 and 8.0.10, but when loading them up to be displayed they all have the wrong orientation on 8.0.10, so this is quite broken.

Can repro this issue at iOS device on the latest 17.10 preview2(8.0.10 and Microsoft.Maui.Controls 8.0.20-nightly.10336+sha.d03a2c66aa-azdo.9265184).
