Frequently Asked Question

Permission Issues

If you're using a plugin, it may require adding additional permissions to your native project after you install the plugin. For instance, the Capacitor Camera plugin requires the following permission for iOS:

• NSCameraUsageDescription (Privacy - Camera Usage Description)
• NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription (Privacy - Photo Library Additions Usage Description)
• NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription (Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description)

You need to manually add those permissions to the info.plist in your native project. Otherwise, calls to the native camera API will fail.

Unexpected behaviour

If for some reason the plugin does not behave in a way that is unexpected, please open an issue on our github repo! Providing a clear issue report along with a reproduction can help get your issue resolved.
