Active Pictures object: how to remove photo library usage permission

[Dobermann]

Hello,

I'm using Active Pictures object to display images from my server only (for daily news). But for iOS, if we use Active Pictures Object it automatically adds Photo Library Usage permission, even if you don't need it.
With last version of iOS, the permission dialog box is shown at start, letting players think we want to spy their private photos...

Is there any way to remove that permission?

Thank you.

in CRunkcpica.h you will find some lines explaining what to do

/* * Comment following line in case you want to disable use of
* PHOTO_LIBRARY through action New picture selector
* To comment add // (two-slash) before line
*/


#define USE_PHOTO_LIBRARY

if you comment the #define line by adding // before this line

no photo library is needed (APO will work with images packed in the cci)

Thank you for asking this! I always wondered what to do regarding this permission dialog box. I am not using any images packed with the cci just through URLs ��

Thank you for that, i'll use it asap! :p

I have done this:

//#define USE_PHOTO_LIBRARY

It caused a lot of errors so I had to comment other things like this:

//    if(imageSelector != nil)
//    {
//        [mainViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO];
//        imageSelector.delegate=nil;
//        [imageSelector autorelease];
//        imageSelector = nil;
//    }
//    if(popOverController != nil)
//    {
//        [popOverController dismissPopoverAnimated:NO];
//        popOverController.delegate = nil;
//        [popOverController autorelease];
//        popOverController = nil;
//    }
    if(renderToTexture != nil)
    {
        [renderToTexture release];
    }

I still got 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 NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

Any ideas how to fix this? I want to use the active pic object using URL without having to show the "photo library usage permission"

[Fernando]

Thanks for the report, I will check

[Dobermann]

I used it as fernando specified it, and i have no issue. Maybe you're app is trying to access local files with APO?

Did you just comment out "//#define USE_PHOTO_LIBRARY" or had to comment out additional parts as well? I am using build R293.10 is that the same for you?

[Dobermann]

I did only what Fernando said, comment define use photo library. I'm also using R293.10. By the way, never got any crash while missing the description, it was just rejected when sending to apple console with the email saying to add the line. To me, something else seems to be wrong/missing.

Check that the Photo_library, if present in framework is set as "Do not Embed"
