Different Experiences on Different Devices

We developed a canvas app that uses a camera control which then sends it to a flow which then parses the file and uploads it to sharepoint. 
This was working fine until July 17th. 
 
I can view in the power flow log the data appears to be coming in differently depending on the device it was sent to. 
If I use a browser and or android device, I can see the binary data comes in as expected:
Here is a snippet
 
{
"Compose_Inputs":"CM-Thursday, August 8, 2024II.jpg|data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAeAAAAKACAYAAABEyKtSAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAIABJREFUeF60vcmT5WmWHXTf6M9n9wiPIWPKjIzKyqpqWlKzkBYCtSRaSI3MhECYoFvIMCFoJDQ1Mg0GMhaYyQxjwQbDMBMbdmy04B9gpw0IdVd3VmUNOVdmRkZExuARPvsbsXPOPd/3vZdRtBDCy7I83P293/v9vuGee889936de3ffXmxsbMR8HrFYLGLRiRgO16LX60e314levxOz+SSm08sYDQaxs7UVePFsMolORGxub0e3143hYBiT6SQm02nMF4uYz2Yxmy9iOpvx34v5NI6PXsXxyUmsb2z..."
}


If I use an android device I do not get the binary data but a file path.
{
"Compose_Inputs": "CM-Wednesday, September 4, 2024OI.jpg/SessionStorage/BBC91E83-C10D-4B30-9771-C943EF8B19F9.jpeg#"
}


which then fails later in the flow when parsing the data. Example error

This leads me to believe there was a change to the client side. The challenge is I am not sure if it is in the canvas app, a canvas app control change, an iphone update or a setting on the iphone which is causing this. 
The best I could find was an article indicating different controls act differently on different devices. (https://hiredgun.tech/power-apps-camera/). I am not sure if this is my issue or not.  I tried a few things but have not made any headway.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on this problem, please respond
