Hi folks, I'm working on iOS 8/iPhone 6 compatibility for my Cordova app, and one thing that's new in iOS 8 is the ability to enable/disable access to the camera on a per-app basis, for all regions. (Previously, I think this was only limited to certain regions such as China.)
As of iOS 7, there's a new API to test whether the app has access to capture the desired media type: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVCaptureDevice_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/AVCaptureDevice/authorizationStatusForMediaType: [AVCaptureDevice authorizationStatusForMediaType:mediaType]; I didn't see any existing issues or discussion on this topic, so thought I'd bring it up here. Is detecting this scenario, and popping up a UIAlertView notifying the user (and offering a button to take them to the settings app), a reasonable addition to the camera plugin? I'm happy to put together a PR and file an issue if you think it's worth adding. Thanks, Dan (I'm not on the dev list, so please include me directly in all replies.)
