UsageDescription in Xcode 8

Question

I tried to upload the iOS-10-update of our App to iTunes Connect. I am using Xcode 8 GM.

Unfortunately, after uploading, iTunes Connect sends a mail containing this:

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

We support englisch, german an spanish, so in the folder of the app, there is a de.lproj, en.lproj and es.lproj-folder, each containing a InfoPlist.strings which does contain the given key:

"NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" = "my description…";

Any ideas, what is going wrong and how to check this? InfoPlist.strings has target Membership in the correct build-target and even in build-target of our app-extension.

Answer 1

You must still include the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key in the actual plist. If you want, you could localize the entire plist file, rather than using InfoPlist.strings.

Answer 2

I had the same problem with my apps, the solution shows you the itunnes connect via mail: review your info.plist and tries to add the following field:

  Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description

You can check here the permissions that now requires iOS 10 in its info.plist , here: https://blog.xamarin.com/new-ios-10-privacy-permission-settings/

This worked for me.
