I have an application recording audio in background, but when I go to settings and change some permissions like photos, the application crashes and audio recording is stopped.
App crashes when changing privacy settings
What are the symptoms of this crash? Do you see a crash report generated?

The technical problem here is that access control is typically checked when you ‘open’ a resource. Think about that in the context of files: if you change permission on a file while a process has the file open, the process can still read and write the file. OTOH user expectation is that, if they change a privacy setting, the change will take place immediately.
But, yes, I agree that this could be documented better. I’d appreciate you filing a bug against the documentation, then posting your bug number here, just for the record.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"Hi, Is this behaviour still same? I am also facing the same issue.
Hey, Any Updates on this. I am also facing this issue.
AFAIK the upthread description is still accurate. I would love to check on the status of the bugs that got filed about this, but no one posted any bug numbers )-:

This also happens for Camera and Microphone settings. I opened a feedback report asking to at least update documentation with reasoning about it. FB9585153
When user is redirected to the app settings to authorize biometric authentication and return back to app, application automatically restarts itself and logout user out. Any know solutions to this problem? Thanks
