NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription error

Question

I hope someone can help here. I have this Xcode / Unity project, and every time I try to build it I get this error:

This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

I understand that in my info.plist I need a description for use of camera, library etc, but as far as I can see, I have that?

Here is my info.plist:

As you can see, i do have the descriptions in there?!?!

When viewing the info.plist inside Xcode it looks like this

really hope that someone can help me in this matter, and thanks in advance :-)

You need to add below code in info.plist

<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>
<string>Here write description why you accessing photo library</string>

Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description is for read and write libraries, NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription is only for read. If your app needs only read add NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription

For more details see this link, https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009251-SW73

See the below screenshots:

1) Right click on Info.plist file

--> Select Open As option

--> Click Source Code

2) Now copy and paste above code here.
