How to change "Camera and Photo Library Permission" description? - ios

I have specified the text I needed in the info.plist file in the NSCameraUsageDescription and NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription fields, but nothing has changed.
Always the same system text "this app requires access to the camera" and "this app requires access to the photo library". I have already tried to find it in code. Did not find. I specified in the files info.plist add my NSCameraUsageDescription and NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription keys , in the all libraries what I use. All the same nothing changes.

Alert image
Please help me. Tell me how to change the description of these queries.

The string exists in the example project of the Gallery lib you are using.
grep -r requires .
returns:
./Gallery-2.2.0/Example/GalleryDemo/GalleryDemo/Info.plist: <string>This app requires access to camera</string>
./Gallery-2.2.0/Example/GalleryDemo/GalleryDemo/Info.plist: <string>This app requires access to photo library</string>
That might have several reasons:
wrong plist
You do not use the .plist you posted but the one above
Xcode caching
You are using the same bundle id as you already used for running the Gallery sample code. To make sure no cache is used:
close Xcode
Delete the app from device / simulator
clean derived data
open Xcode, build & run

Unable to install the app on iPhone and iPad

I submitted app to App Store but it was rejected twice because they were unable to install the app on iPhone and iPad. They said the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the Info.plist is set in such a way that the app will not install on an iPhone and iPad.
They wrote that the next steps are:
To resolve this issue, please check the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities
key to verify that it contains only the attributes required for your
app features or the attributes that must not be present on the device.
Attributes specified by a dictionary should be set to true if they are
required and false if they must not be present on the device.
After first submit I removed completely UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key, but they still weren't able to install it.
I don't have iPhone or iPad, I tested app on simulators and it worked normally.
Here is my info.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Does anyone know how to modify it so that it can be installed on iPhones and iPads?
UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities must be present in your Info.plist, as per the documentation.
In all apps that I have on the App Store, this is what I have:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>armv7</string>
</array>
so I'd suggest you try that.

NSCameraUsageDescription is not working

I am trying to open up the user's camera, but whenever I try to open the camera I get this error, "The 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." I have already added Privacy - Camera Usage Description along with a value such as "I need to use your camera" to the info.plist file, but I am still getting this error.
Here is my source code for info.plist

***I have found the solution. I had to go into "info" and add the privacy key in custom IOS Target Properties
Weirdly after iOS 10 you have to define access to all hardware. Most likely, you will be missing the "Privacy-Microphone Usage Description". switch to the "Organizer" and look at the crash reports on the device and add all the privacy errors listed there.

The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. error

I got an error,
The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.
Now I am making iPhone app by swift.
I added several codes to Info.plist of my app, I deleted these codes.
But when I wanna open Info.plist of my app, this error happen.I do not know why because I deleted all codes which I added.And I think format is really fixed.
My Info.plist is like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

How can I fix this?
You've duplicated key in the info.plist file, remove the following key in the beginning
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName</key>
and it will resolve the issue.
Try something below:
Right click on Info.plist -> Source Code -> Discard Change
I was Building flutter project , and the problem was missing <string> for key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview adding <string></string> fixed my issue , i didn't update the info.plist though it was as created by flutter , hope this will help someone using flutter

UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities is invalid for iOS application

I'm trying to upload an iOS application to iTunes Connect, however every time I attempt to upload the application I get the following message:
Performance - 2.3
We were unable to install the app. The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities
key in the Info.plist is set in such a way that the app will not
install.
Next Steps
Please check the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key to verify that it
contains only the attributes required for your app features or the
attributes that must not be present on the device. Attributes
specified by a dictionary should be set to true if they are required
and false if they must not be present on the device.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong with the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities.
My application requires the device to have a camera as it involves reading a QR code.
The following is my info.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</array>
</dict>
</plist>
I have looked at a number of resources provided by Apple such as:
Expected App Behaviours
List of Possible Values
Any help is appreciated, just don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point.
FYI, this was resolved for me when I simply replied to the app rejection stating that my plist file was correct per the docs (assuming yours is correct to your app and the docs). They accepted me.
The contents of UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities must be a dictionary, not an array; the capability is used as a key in the dictionary, and the value must be set to a boolean true or false to indicate whether the device must have the capability, or must not have the capability.
(The utility of prohibiting capabilities in an app is a little questionable. I'm not sure why it'd make sense to have an app that would refuse to install on a device with a camera, for instance. But that's what Apple put in there, so…)
In your case, this would look like:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<dict>
<key>still-camera</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Xcode : Submission Failed - Invalid IPA

After many hours of research, I don't know why I can't submit my application from xCode (6.1).
At the end of the submission an error is returned:
ERROR ITMS-90072: "The IPA is invalid It does not include a Payload directory."
The two responses that I've read are located in the info.plist file
Two keys must be added :
- LSRequiresIPhoneOS: YES (Boolean)
- CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion: 6.0 (String)
The project has been cleaned.
This is the contents of my file info.plist:

I have generated the IPA and unzip it. The folder contains two subfolders :
- Applications
- Symbols
Only the Payload folder should appear, isn't it ? (the wrapper)
Wikipedia describes the content like this :
An IPA has a built-in structure for iTunes and AppStore to recognize,
The example below shows the structure of an IPA:
/Payload/
/Payload/Application.app
/iTunesArtwork
/iTunesMetadata.plist
I just had the very same problem. It turned out that a missing entitlement for in-app purchases was the culprit.
Select your target and go to 'Capabilities'. Xcode highlighted the missing entitlement and offered to fix it. Then it finally worked.
I hope this works for you as well. I have spent the last couple of hours tearing my hair out.
I faced the same problem on an application that I've successfully submitted many times over the past few years. To correct it, I had to edit the Info.plist file to set:
Application requires iPhone environment = YES
Mine was set to NO. This does not restrict the application from deploying to iPad or iPod.
