Answer 1

In iOS 10. You have to set privacy Setting for Camera & Photo Library.

Camera :

Key       :  Privacy - Camera Usage Description   
Value     :  $(PRODUCT_NAME) camera use

Photo Library:

Key       :  Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description    
Value     :  $(PRODUCT_NAME) photo use

Answer 2

IOS 10 Now Requires User Permission to Access Media Library, Photos, Camera and other Hardware like these. The solution for this is to add their keys into info.plist with description for user that how we are using their data , iOS already required permissions to access microphone, camera, and media library earlier (iOS6, iOS7), but since iOS10 the apps will crash if you don't provide the description why you are asking for the permission.

Add below key value in plist file.

There is a list of all Cocoa Keys that you can specify in your Info.plist file

Photo :

Key       :  Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description    
Value   :  $(PRODUCT_NAME) photo use

Microphone :

Key        :  Privacy - Microphone Usage Description    
Value    :  $(PRODUCT_NAME) microphone use

Camera :

Key       :  Privacy - Camera Usage Description   
Value   :  $(PRODUCT_NAME) camera use
