maximumImagesCount: 10
}
);options = {
// max images to be selected, defaults to 15. If this is set to 1, upon
// selection of a single image, the plugin will return it.
maximumImagesCount: int,
gridSize:3,//ios only
cellSpacing:2,//ios only
maxDuration:100000,//ios only, maximum length of video

Starting from iOS 10, Apple started asking for specifying the reason for accessing the user’s photo library, therefore it's mandatory to add NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription entry in the info.plist.
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription describes the reason that the app accesses the user’s photo library. When the system prompts the user to allow access, this string is displayed as part of the dialog box. In order to add this entry you must pass the variable PHOTO_LIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION on plugin install.
Example:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-imagegallery --variable PHOTO_LIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION="your message"
Empty string will be added as value if you dont pass the variable
The plugin returns images that are stored in a temporary directory. These images will often not be deleted automatically though. The files should be moved or deleted after you get their filepaths in javascript.
