Using
iOS 10.0
last beta. I had tried to use Camera to scan barcode in my app, and it crashed with this runtime error.
This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCameraUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
Put this key into the plist, but it still crashed?
Alternatively open Info.plist as source code and add this:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera usage description</string>
As Apple has changed how you can access any user private data types in
iOS 10
.
You need to add the "
Privacy - Camera usage description
" key to your app’s
Info.plist
and their usage information which is apply for your application, as in below example I had provided that I have used to scan barcodes.
For more information please find the below screenshot.
For those who are still getting the error even though you added proper keys into Info.plist:
Make sure you are adding the key into correct Info.plist. Newer version of xCode, apparently has 3 Info.plist.
One is under folder with your app's name which solved problem for me.
Second is under YourappnameTests and third one is under YourappnameUITests.
Hope it helps.
Use these raw values and copy in info.plist
<key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) calendar events</string>
<key>NSRemindersUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) reminder use</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires to access your photo library to show image on profile and send via chat</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires to access your microphone to record video with your voice send via chat</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires to access your photo library to show image on profile and send via chat</string>
<key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) contact use</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) location use</string>
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) location use</string>
You do this by adding a usage key to your app’s Info.plist together with a purpose string. NSCameraUsageDescription Specifies the reason for your app to access the device’s camera
