When an iOS app attempts to register for push notifications for the first time, the system pops up a permissions dialog asking the user for permission to receive push notifications. Is it possible to customize the text of this dialog, to explain why these permissions are being sought? No, this is a system dialog which cannot be customized. One workaround that I have seen involves an app bringing up its own custom dialog explaining why it needs a permission. Then immediately afterwards the app requests the permission, bringing up the system dialog. This may be suitable for convincing a user to

Different web sites ( e.g. ) explain that the iOS permission model works like this: All apps have a set of basic permissions (including Internet access). If an additional permission is required during runtime the user is asked whether to grant or deny it. Which permissions does iOS know? What belongs to the basic permissions set? What can be done without user consent? Basically I am looking for a list similar to this one , just for iOS In contrast to other answers, there is an official list of permissions that are asked at runtime. It is in the iOS Security Guide (p. 84): iOS helps prevent

I have a simple app running on ios simulator which will (at some point in the app), prompt the user to authorize the following: Location setting Address contact book Pictures/Albums Because I am doing automation testing on the iOS simulator (several thousand on virtual machines), is there a way to force iOS simulator to have these permissions already set to yes when the app is installed? I vaguely remember there was a way to manipulate this using a plist file associated with iOS simulator, but I'm not 100% sure if "its all in my head". I'm not finding much on google. There's some discussion

I'm trying to recreate the condition where the following code returns AVAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined : AVAuthorizationStatus authStatus = [AVCaptureDevice authorizationStatusForMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo]; However, the iPad appears to remember camera permissions even after the app is deleted and reinstalled, and so either Authorized or NotAuthorized is returned every time. Any idea how to reset the permissions so that NotDetermined is returned? Thanks for reading. You can't reset the permission programmatically. If you want to reset the permission there are two ways: Reset the OS Uninstall

I've written an app that requests access to the iPad's calendar. Under iOS 6, a system dialog appears that asks the user if that's okay. Problem is, I can't replicate that situation once it's happened. For testing purposes, I want to force that dialog to come up consistently. Instead, the OS caches previous settings and doesn't bring up the dialog again. This is still the case even if I delete the app off the iPad and re-install. (Changing the app name and bundle fixes the problem, but I don't want to do that every time I test.) Does anyone know how to force this to appear? Thanks. Settings >

When my app tries to access the camera for the first time on iOS 8, the user is presented with a camera permission dialog, much like the microphone one for microphone access in iOS 7. In iOS 7, it was possible to invoke the microphone permission dialog beforehand and see if the permission was granted (see this question , for example). Is there a similar way to invoke the camera permission dialog in iOS 8? Can the dialog be combined for microphone AND camera access permission? jamix Here is the approach we ended up using: if ([AVCaptureDevice respondsToSelector:@selector
