Hi Guys,

Developing an app that's going to be running with Apple configurator to be locked to a single app (Just like menus in restaurants , iPads at airports etc...)

I need access to the camera / photo gallery.

When the device is not locked - get a popup - click accept - everything works. When I "lock to app" in the configurator though I don't get the popup and all I get is a black screen camera or image selection screen. Any way around this? To auto approve it? something I'm missing in the configurator? (iOS 9, Xcode 7.0.1 , Configurator 1.7.2 from the store, iPod touch)

Thanks,

Liviu

Just for future reference since someone will hit this wall someday:

There is a way to do that and it's silly but working.

Opening the app and approving the permissions BEFORE locking it to a single app mode and then while the app is running - lock it to single app mode does the trick.
