NSCameraUsageDescription in iOS 10 0 runtime crash

Question

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

Use these raw values and copy in info plist       lt key gt NSCalendarsUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  calendar events lt  string gt       lt key gt NSRemindersUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  reminder use lt  string gt       lt key gt NSCameraUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt This app requires to access your photo library to show image on profile and send via chat lt  string gt       lt key gt NSMicrophoneUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt This app requires to access your microphone to record video with your voice send via chat lt  string gt       lt key gt NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt This app requires to access your photo library to show image on profile and send via chat lt  string gt       lt key gt NSContactsUsageDescription lt  key gt          lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  contact use lt  string gt       lt key gt NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  location use lt  string gt       lt key gt NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription lt  key gt         lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  location use lt  string gt

Another instance that I faced while trying to use the camera  was that it was still busy crashing giving same  CRASHING DUE TO PRIVACY even after adding the  Camera Usage Description   After failing to get anything tangible from the call stack  switched to the  Organizer  and looked into the crash reports on the device  I found that it was in fact complaining about the privacy due to the missing  Microphone Usage Description   I added that and got rid of such a cryptic break down

the xcode UI has changed a bit from one version to the next so here is where you update the plist for 9 0 beta 4 if it helps Project - Target - Info

As Apple has changed how you can access any user private data types in iOS 10  You need to add the  quot Privacy - Camera usage description quot  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

After iOS 10 you have to define and provide a usage description of all the system   s privacy-sensitive data accessed by your app in Info plist as below   Calendar   Key       Privacy - Calendars Usage Description     Value       PRODUCT NAME  calendar events   Reminder    Key        Privacy - Reminders Usage Description     Value        PRODUCT NAME  reminder use   Contact    Key        Privacy - Contacts Usage Description      Value       PRODUCT NAME  contact use   Photo    Key       Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description     Value       PRODUCT NAME  photo use   Bluetooth Sharing    Key       Privacy - Bluetooth Peripheral Usage Description      Value       PRODUCT NAME  Bluetooth Peripheral use   Microphone    Key       Privacy - Microphone Usage Description     Value       PRODUCT NAME  microphone use   Camera    Key       Privacy - Camera Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  camera use   Location    Key       Privacy - Location Always Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  location use  Key       Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  location use   Heath    Key       Privacy - Health Share Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  heath share use  Key       Privacy - Health Update Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  heath update use   HomeKit    Key       Privacy - HomeKit Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  home kit use   Media Library    Key       Privacy - Media Library Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  media library use   Motion    Key       Privacy - Motion Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  motion use   Speech Recognition    Key       Privacy - Speech Recognition Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  speech use   SiriKit      Key       Privacy - Siri Usage Description   Value       PRODUCT NAME  siri use   TV Provider     Key       Privacy - TV Provider Usage Description    Value       PRODUCT NAME  tvProvider use   You can get detailed information in this link

I had the same problem and could not find a solution  Mark90 is right there are a lot info plist files and you should edit the correct  Go to Project  under TARGETS select the project  not the tests   in the tab bar select Info and add the permission under  Custom iOS Target Properties
