When building
native
native apps you generally have the ability to add in custom descriptions for things like location use or camera use, etc.
I'm not overly au fait with the Android side of things as I have been fussing on iOS for now, but I did manage to find a way to do what I want and keep the Expo builds - in the
ios
key in
app.json
there's the
infoPlist
key (https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/configuration.html#infoplist) where you just add arbitrary
Info.plist
stuff. So I managed to do what I wanted there. However, it would be arguably more useful to be able to do this in a more officially supported way, and, if Android also supports descriptions for these features, make it more cross-platform, like the Permissions API itself.
