Apple App Store PWA, Camera Access String problem

Hey guys, after getting the app wrapped up (using PWA builder) and submitted to Apple app store, we’re getting rejected.

The one problem I can’t seem to solve is that Apple wants the camera access string to be something other than the default, “APPNAME” Would Like to Access the Camera.

Keep in mind, this is when the user has tapped “upload files” and then “camera”, so it’s a very silly requirement.

Does anyone know how to edit this message?

browser’s requests for permissions can’t be changed (I think it is for security reasons). What you can do is to display your own message before activating the input, explaining that there will be a request for permission and why it is needed. a lot of apps use this pattern.

Ah, smart approach. It might work, unless they really focus in on wanting the specific string to change.

Please let us know what your result is! I might be going the same PWABuilder route and would love to know if you manage to get accepted to the appstore. :smile:
