AIR for iOS CameraRoll.requestPermission() Crash

[dustin_bahr]

Adobe Animate CC Build 16.1.0.86

AIR 27.0.0.128 for iOS

iPad Pro, iOS 11.0.3

When I use the following code, my app will present the dialog box asking for permission. If I choose OK, the app immediately crashes.

camRoll = new CameraRoll();

camRoll.requestPermission();

I have added an event listener for the PermissionEvent.PERMISSION_STATUS event. The handler includes a trace() that should log a message. This message never shows up, so I believe it is crashing before this event.

Using Xcode to view device logs, I find that the following reason:

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS

I have defined the following InfoAdditions:

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>

<array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array>

<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key><true/>

<key>FacebookAppID</key>

<string>674465169231742</string>

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>

<array><dict><key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key><array><string>fb140320192822178</string></array></dict></array>

<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>

<true/>

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>

<dict><key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/></dict>

<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>

<string>Used for saving coloring pages.</string>

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>

<string>Used for saving coloring pages.</string>

After the crash, if I go through this again, the permission HAS been granted successfully. So, it does work, it just crashes in the process.

How can I resolve this?

Hi

I have tried with the sample app, requesting the camera permission and adding the event listener for Permission Status. I have defined the InfoAdditions as mentioned. It is working fine on our device(iPhone 7, iPhone 8 on iOS 11.2).

Could you share the sample project where this issue is observed. You can email me directly on prakaskuATadobeDOTcom.

Thanks

I was able to determine that this was caused by another class in my project. However, I have not had the time to determine exactly which part part of that code is the cause.
