Actually I am trying to implement a QR APP ,for that I am trying to add the permissions to access camera and I have written the permissions even though that permission alert is not coming .Can anyone help me out to do this.Thanks in advance.
Add this code in your view controller class
import AVFoundation
//Barcode Scanner
let captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
var videoPreviewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer!
var initialized = false
let barCodeTypes = [AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.upce,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.code39,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.code39Mod43,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.code93,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.code128,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.ean8,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.ean13,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.aztec,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.pdf417,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.itf14,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.dataMatrix,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.interleaved2of5,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.qr]
