Description

We recently had a build fail the itunes upload due to NSCameraUsageDescription not being set. It was caused by the newer version of the media-capture plugin defining NSCameraUsageDescription and NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescriptionentry with an empty string and blowing away the value set by the camera plugin variables.

The workaround is pretty simple: just set the same variables for both plugins, but I would expect core plugins to work nicely with each other. Is it necessary for the plugins to control these parameters? Could one define these values in config.xml instead of relying on the plugins?

Also, if an empty string is no longer valid for app submission should it be added by default?
