The 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.

This was one of those rejections where they're like, "If this is a bug fix, we can accept it for now, but you need to fix this in your next update."

We replied, "Yes, please approve, we'll fix it." 36 hours later, they approved, but we still need to deal with this.

I submitted an update with our permission prompts in iambic pentameter. It was approved.

(We won't release it. I just had to know.)

Apple followed up to let us know what happened. Normally they don't do this for camera apps, when it's obvious why the camera is used.

They expect more detailed permission prompts for apps that don't strictly need camera access. This was a goof, so no need for us to change the strings.

@sandofsky the person that reviewed your submission is a goof?
