Info.plist Privacy Strings

iOS Permission Description Generator

Avoid App Store Guideline 5.1.1 rejections by generating clear, contextual justification copy for Camera, Photos, Location, Microphone, and Face ID.

Select Required Permissions

Apple requires specific, human-centered justification strings for every hardware capability.

Why vague permission descriptions trigger App Store rejections

The "Why" Rule

Descriptions like "App needs camera access" fail App Review. Apple requires explaining the user benefit: "Scan receipts and barcodes to calculate expenses."

No Empty Strings

Submitting a build containing an empty string or placeholder ("TODO") causes an automated static analysis failure during archive processing.

Localization

Usage descriptions should also be included in your InfoPlist.strings files for non-English users.
