iOS 10 - Changes in asking permissions of Camera microphone and Photo Library causing application to crash

Question

iOS 10  Now Requires User Permission to Access Media Library  Photos  Camera and other Hardware like these  The solution for this is to add their keys into info plist with a description for user that how we are using their data   I could only find a few keys   NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription NSMicrophoneUsageDescription NSCameraUsageDescription   I want to know if there are more keys also for other hardware as in iOS 10 if you haven t provided info plist with proper keys description your application will crash if build using XCode - 8 beta

UPDATED privacy keys list to iOS 13 - see below   There is a list of all Cocoa Keys that you can specify in your Info plist file   https   developer apple com library content documentation General Reference InfoPlistKeyReference Articles CocoaKeys html   Xcode   Target -  Info -  Custom iOS Target Properties   iOS already required permissions to access microphone  camera  and media library earlier  iOS 6  iOS 7   but since iOS 10 app will crash if you don t provide the description why you are asking for the permission  it can t be empty    Privacy keys with example description    Source  Alternatively  you can open Info plist as source code    Source  And add privacy keys like this    lt key gt NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription lt  key gt   lt string gt   PRODUCT NAME  always location use lt  string gt    List of all privacy keys   UPDATED to iOS 13   NFCReaderUsageDescription NSAppleMusicUsageDescription NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription NSCalendarsUsageDescription NSCameraUsageDescription NSContactsUsageDescription NSFaceIDUsageDescription NSHealthShareUsageDescription NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription NSHomeKitUsageDescription NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription NSLocationUsageDescription NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription NSMicrophoneUsageDescription NSMotionUsageDescription NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription NSRemindersUsageDescription NSSiriUsageDescription NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription NSVideoSubscriberAccountUsageDescription   Update 2019   In the last months  two of my apps were rejected during the review because the camera usage description wasn t specifying what I do with taken photos   I had to change the description from   PRODUCT NAME  need access to the camera to take a photo to   PRODUCT NAME  need access to the camera to update your avatar even though the app context was obvious  user tapped on the avatar     It seems that Apple is now paying even more attention to the privacy usage descriptions  and we should explain in details why we are asking for permission
