UIImageView set image orienation after setting from camera roll - objective-c

Question

Image Orientation changes after setting it from camera roll to UIImage.
UIImagePickerController *controller = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
controller.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
controller.allowsEditing = NO;
controller.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType: UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
controller.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController presentViewController: controller animated: YES completion: nil];
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated: YES completion: nil];
UIImage *image = [info valueForKey: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.1);
headerCell.userProfileImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; //Get the docs directory
NSString *filePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"profileImage.png"]; //Add the file name
NSData *pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[pngData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
}
From Camera Roll its set orientation wrong but from photo library its setting perfectly.
Any one had same issue like this please let us know your comments to fix this issue.

You can use below method to manage image orientation after picking image:
(Modify method as per your requirement)
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated: YES completion: nil];
UIImage *image = [self scaleAndRotateImage: [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.1);
headerCell.userProfileImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; //Get the docs directory
NSString *filePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"profileImage.png"]; //Add the file name
NSData *pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[pngData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
}

int kMaxResolution = 320;

CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);
if (width > kMaxResolution || height > kMaxResolution) {
CGFloat ratio = width/height;
if (ratio > 1) {
bounds.size.width = kMaxResolution;
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width / ratio;

bounds.size.width = bounds.size.height * ratio;
