If you (like me) wanted all the new bells and whistles in Xcode 8 and realized too late, that the latest officially supported iOS Version of Xcode 8 is iOS 8 and you need support for the iPhone 4 or iPad mini (both run on iOS 7) in one app, here are the good news: You don’t have to go back to Xcode 7 – we built and released a working App for iOS 7 with Xcode 8.
Update 22.09.2017:
Update 1.2.0 of the cordova camera permissions plugin ships support for NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription in iOS 11
In my last blog post I wrote about the iOS 10 camera permission a.k.a. iOS 10 NSCameraUsageDescription Permission issue, we encountered during the development of our Ionic/Cordova App.
To further automate the npm-based build process, I wrote a simple cordova plugin, which can be installed with the cordova plugin installation routine.
Update 22.09.2017: I wrote a plugin for cordova/ionic which simplifies the process: iOS 10/11 camera permission description plugin
I just wanted to share this little finding with you, which I encountered today trying to upload our App update for iOS 10 of “zingoo Partner App” to Testflight. The app got rejected from Testflight because of a missing NSCameraUsageDescription.

I’m sorry. My last conversation with you dates back to 2012. By the time I didn’t know it would be the conversation to stay for four years. I could have known, I hear you say, our last encounter adds two years on top. And I know what you think… He’s coming back, after years, asking for forgiveness and I should welcome him like I did the years before, when everything was good.… As if nothing had ever happened!
It must feel like a bad excuse to tell you, the same happened to everyone else in my life. To twitter, to facebook, to instagram, to you, my dear blog. I hope you pragmatically recognized, that I always kept your files and folders up-to-date and replaced plugins with the newest versions, with some shiny finesse under the hood. I really thought a lot of you, logged in and out, tried to publish something, but I never really found the time.
I hope I can regain some of your trust and support in the foreseeable future by working hard on our relationship and spending some quality content with you.
Thank you, dear Blog!
