Ben SandofskyThe latest Halide update was rejected because, after seven years, a random reviewer decided our permission prompt wasn't descriptive enough.
I don't know how to explain why a camera app needs camera permissions.
B O@sandofsky for these kinds of special apps, installation could be considered explicit consent
satmaar@piyuv @sandofsky That might set a bad precedent. I agree that it’s embarrassing Apple reviewers can’t comprehend why a camera app might need camera access, but equalising installation to explicit content is not the right way out of the situation…
EndlessMasonThe app store could include the consent up front.
There's no reason the "install this app" button couldn't be "install this button and let the app access your camera"
@EndlessMason @piyuv @sandofsky Still, I’d rather have a separate prompt for granting permissions.
Also, there are multiple cam apps that double as photo editors or preset collections. I’d want to be able to use the non-camera functionality without instantly granting access to camera on installation.
Then you're going to hate using my imaginary app store lol
