NSCameraUsageDescription needed for C++ projects in Xcode for MacOS Mojave


I am trying to run OpenCV projects in Xcode and it seems like there's a new need to provide an info.plist for C++ applications NSCameraUsageDescription.

2018-09-28 00:03:15.181948+0800 k_nearest_detector_v2[23505:710470] [access] 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.
Program ended with exit code: 9

How do I go about creating a .plist file for a C++ project as it has never been needed before.


Solution

  • Found a solution. Put the file with the desired NSCameraUsageDescription, NSMicrophoneUsageDescription (or others) with the assembled file from XCode (See screen shots below). For the Release and Debug versions. Products-> Right Click-> Show in Finder "Info.plist"
