🐛 Bug Report

iOS is permenantlyDenied when trying to get camera permission, even when it is enabled in app settings

Expected behavior

If you have camera enabled, then the permission is granted

Reproduction steps

Check perm status when you call it, when you have permission granted -> var perm = await Permission.camera.request();

Configuration

Simulator - iPhone 12 (iOS 15.5) Version: 1.x ^10.0.0

Platform:

• [ X] :iphone: iOS
• [ ] :robot: Android

I have the same for camera and mediaLibrary permission. Is there any workaround?

@novas1r1 , @haydgately : Do you have some code snippets to show how you are checking and requesting for camera permissions? I had a similar issue where it would keep asking camera permission even if the camera permissions were enabled in app settings. I managed to get around that by first checking for status and then ask to open app settings if the permission is not granted. Something like this:

PermissionStatus cameraPermissionStatus = await permissionService.cameraStatus();
 
  if (cameraPermissionStatus != PermissionStatus.granted) {
    PermissionStatus permissionStatus = await permissionService.requestCameraPermission();
    if (permissionStatus != PermissionStatus.granted) {
      openDialog(context, ‘Camera disabled’, ‘Allow permission to access the camera in your device setting’ , [
        DialogAction(‘Cancel’, () {
          Navigator.pop(context);
        }),
        DialogAction(‘Go to app settings, () async {
          await openAppSettings();
        })
      ]);
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps.

And you would also need this in your ios/Podfile

## dart: PermissionGroup.camera
        'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',

Do you check it in applifecycle of the app? Example:

void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) { if (state == AppLifecycleState.resumed) { PermissionHandler() .checkPermissionStatus(PermissionGroup.locationWhenInUse) .then(_updateStatus); } }
