NSCameraUsageDescription in iOS 10.0 runtime crash?

Using iOS 10.0 last beta. I had tried to use Camera to scan barcode in my app, and it crashed with this runtime error.

This 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.

Put this key into the plist, but it still crashed?

Solution

  • After iOS 10 you have to define and provide a usage description of all the system’s privacy-sensitive data accessed by your app in Info.plist as below:
