Known Issues

Camera plug-in variables for iOS projects.

As it turns out the keys variables for the Camera plug-in does not work as it not apply to a current most recent changes in Cordova Camera plug-in. We will fix this in the nearest time.

Workaround

You should create NS properties descriptions manually in the config.xml file with the next code:

<edit-config target="NSCameraUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
    <string>need camera access to take pictures</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config target="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
    <string>need to photo library access to get pictures from there</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
    <string>need location access to find things nearby</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config target="NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
    <string>need to photo library access to save pictures there</string>
</edit-config>
