NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription, NSCameraUsageDescription

With the new intents in iOS10, will there be a ( simple ) way to configure these keys with Adobe Air, or will we have to unpack / edit info.plist / repack the .ipa ?

ADT should automate this process, in my opinion

Is there a plan to develop such features?

Thanks in advance

Hi Paul,

Please refer to our AIR 24 beta release notes and go through the section "Permissions on Android and iOS"

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/shared/air24_flashplayer24_releasenotes.pdf

You can use such keys directly under <infoAdditions> tag in app.xml file while packaging AIR application.

Kindly refer to below example for NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription:

<InfoAdditions><![CDATA[

        <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>

        <string>Sample description to allow geolocation always</string>

        <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>

        <string>Sample description to allow geolocation when application is in foreground</string>        

  <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>

  <array>

  <string>1</string>

  <string>2</string>

  </array>

  ]]></InfoAdditions>

Please let us know if it helps you.

Thanks,

I have another issue on iOS with _cameraRoll.requestPermission . If the user *doesn't* allow the permission, the iOS dialog can never show up again : subsequent calls to requestPermission() fail silently.

Am I missing something or is this the normal behavior?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

On iOS, once a end user denies the requested permission, the dialog will never come up in the UI. Although developer (you) should receive the call back within the app. User can go to settings of the app on the device and set the requested permission.

Please let us know if this is not the case.

Thanks,
