Importing photo from Seek to iNaturalist doesn't have location

It’s something we chose to omit for Seek v2 but are planning to include eventually, so if you want to call that a bug then sure.

I also wouldn’t call it “simple.” Seek v2 uses some very different technology than Seek v1, and we were working under deadline, so some existing functionality got tabled. In this case, instead of using third-party camera software like we did with Seek v1 or using an external camera app like we do in the iNat Android app, the real-time vision results in the camera meant that we had to basically write our own camera on iOS and Android, and write a wrapper round that to integrate it into Seek. That meant losing or re-implementing a lot of freebies we got with third party software, like writing EXIF data.
