### Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage

We noticed that your app requests the user’s consent to access their camera and photos but does not clarify the use of this feature in the permission modal alert.

**Next Steps**

To resolve this issue, please revise the permission modal alert to specify why the app is requesting access to the user’s camera and photos.

The permission request alert should specify how your app will use this feature to help users understand why your app is requesting access to their personal data.

**Resources**

For additional information and instructions on configuring and presenting an alert, please review the [Requesting Permission](https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/app-architecture/requesting-permission/) section of the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and the [Information Property List Key Reference](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009251-SW18). You may also want to review the [Technical Q&A QA1937: Resolving the Privacy-Sensitive Data App Rejection](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1937/_index.html) page for details on how to provide a usage description for permission request alerts.

We still noticed that your app requests the user’s consent to access their camera and photos but does not clarify the use of this feature in the permission modal alert.

@doctorsof I think that we have discovered the bug that is causing your Android app to crash and should have a fix deployed soon.

It should be included with our next release. We’re hoping to get that out early next week but the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. might make that difficult. In that case it might not be until early the week after that.

</div>

**Bug** : when making **a copy of an existing project** , the new project does not show the textboxes for iOS permissions! Today I missed a review, because I had not described the need for camera etc.

Workaround: when your project has for example a camera, just add a second camera, then the “iOS permissions” show up. Afterwards the second camera can be deleted.
