Does plugin require NSPhotoLibraryUsage ?

[pamir72]

When I uploaded my app into AppStore I got the refusal with warning NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription is absent. Does plugin require NSPhotoLibraryUsage ?

The plugin doesn't require NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription.
Only NSCameraUsageDescription is required here.

Can you provide a complete warning?

Thanks

ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist - Your app's code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data. The app's Info.plist file should contain a NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. Starting Spring 2019, all apps submitted to the App Store that access user data are required to include a purpose string. 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. You can contact the developer of the library or SDK and request they release a version of their code that doesn't contain the APIs. Learn more

It is strange, but the warning appeared after plug-in connected

It's strange. Possible reasons for this

1. Used NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription in code but not added in info.plist
2. Added in plist but the description is unclear or not sufficient.

Can you provide your plist file and the pubspec file (If possible)?
After that, we can figure it out.

I didn't have NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription in the info.plist and the code
After rejecting, I added a description into info.plist and uploaded app successfully

But without the plugin NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription was not required

pubspec:

environment:
sdk: ">=2.3.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:

flutter_webview_plugin: ^0.3.8

@pamir72
Did the issue is resolved?
I have gone through it several times and I was able to make it work without NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription.

[pamir72]

I've set NSPhotoLibrariUsageDescription as Apple recommended and then never returned to this question.

[AmolGangadhare]

Did the app was deployed successfully after adding the permission?

[pamir72]

Yes

[AmolGangadhare]

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately, you faced this issue.
I'm marking this issue as resolved.

Closing this issue as it is resolved
