Andrew McGivery's tutorial explores using Ionic Native to interface with the Cordova Camera plugin in an Ionic 2 app. The guide walks through setting up a new application using Ionic's blank template, installing necessary plugins and platforms, and developing a method to capture and display a picture using the device's camera. It elaborates on configuring the Camera plugin to take a 1000x1000 pixel image, converting it to a base64 string, and displaying it within the app's user interface. The tutorial highlights the efficiency of combining Ionic Native and Ionic View for rapid prototyping and development, allowing developers to test their apps on real devices quickly. McGivery emphasizes that the process can be achieved with minimal code within ten minutes, showcasing the ease and effectiveness of integrating native features into Ionic apps.
