NSCameraUsageDescription

[tsargent]

I am using the library in a simple app and am getting a rejection from Apple TestFlight because of the following error:

ITMS-90683: Missing purpose string in Info.plist - Your app’s code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data, or the app has one or more entitlements that permit such access. The Info.plist file for the “TurtleTuner.app” bundle should contain a NSCameraUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. If you’re using external libraries or SDKs, they may reference APIs that require a purpose string. While your app might not use these APIs, a purpose string is still required. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/protecting_the_user_s_privacy/requesting_access_to_protected_resources.

This seems very unrelated to react-native-pitch-detector, but when I remove the dependency, the app gets accepted on TestFlight.

My repo: https://github.com/tsargent/turtle-tuner

This commit does not get rejected from TestFlight, and it simply removes the dependency: tsargent/turtle-tuner@67d4a52

Am I missing something with permissions? Why would I need camera permissions?

I’ll check that, it’s strange behavior, I’m sure that I didn’t use any camera resource.

@tsargent I checked all code and I didn't found nothing that use camera permission, the only possibility is a react-native-permission library bug, that is used to access microphone. I updated dependency version on this branch. Could you install and verify if issue still?

Thank you @1fabiopereira. I tried your branch and I still get the error when I attempt to distribute it to TestFlight. Very strange. I will keep investigating.

Hello @tsargent and @1fabiopereira! FYI: I got exactly the same issue with a simple project too. Same as you I didn't found any reason of why your dependency generate this problem 🤷‍♂️.

PS: thanks for your amazing work on this repo @1fabiopereira

[1fabiopereira]

@cursan-a Thanks for reporting, I'll check again as it doesn't make any sense.

Any updates on this? I want to use this repo for a project. But this issue is concerning.

[1fabiopereira]

@pm2877 I could not reproduce the problem, but my only suspicion is something in the permission lib, we are planning to remove the permission lib and leave it to the developer to insert the lib you want. We are start talk about it in #43
