Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

iOS

Expected behavior

Publish app on app store without needing NSCameraUsageDescription

Actual behavior

When I go to publish my app, my build is rejected by Apple because it doesn't have the NSCameraUsageDescription purpose string in my info.plist.

ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist

This appears to be an open issue on flutter-ffmpeg https://github.com/tanersener/flutter-ffmpeg/issues/120

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

N/A

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Upload an .ipa to the app store

Yes, I am having the same problem with my own APP.

I had to add in my info.plist :

    <key>NSAppleMusicUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>
    <key>NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Dyglot does not need this permission</string>

Perhaps this issue does not occur on flutter_sound: 4.0.0-beta.4 but I have not yet tested with this new version.

Using flutter_sound_lite on the latest branch of 4.0.0-beta (commit c8484133d1c911241990a91a87165f6dc18cb56f) I was able to publish my app without adding the key to the info.plist. It seems like we can avoid this problem once 4.0.0 is stable.

Thank your @claptimes5 to share your experience with 4.0.0. 👍
We must check, now with 4.0.0 FULL.

After Xcode 11.5, flutter_sound version 2.x is no longer supported because of the usage of some deprecated code,

So, only after the upgrade to
flutter_sound_lite: ^4.0.6

And I got all the Upload Build Warnings from iTunesConnect the same as @Larpoux mentioned!
I guess that is because of the FFmpeg, but the lite version seems that still asking for all the above permissions.

is there a fix, or Can I omit those functionalities in initializing sound library?

[Larpoux]

I am surprised that the lite flavor need all those permissions.
I am going to look to this this week.
