iOS Binary rejected for using permission i don't need

[donadev]

Issue

My iOS app using moko-permissions was rejected by App Store Connect because Info.plist keys for NSContactsUsageDescription and NSMotionUsageDescription were missing. This happened despite not using these features, as the library implicitly referenced them.

Problem

Unused permissions are included by default, leading to:

• App store rejections.
• Manual fixes like adding unnecessary Info.plist keys.

Proposed Solution

1. Explicit Permission Registration
   Allow developers to register only the permissions they need:

   val permissionsManager = PermissionsManager.create {
       registerPermission(Permission.CAMERA)
       registerPermission(Permission.LOCATION)
   }

2. Build-Time Validation
   Warn if required Info.plist keys are missing or if unregistered permissions are included.

3. Documentation Update
   Guide users on registering permissions and preventing app store issues.

Benefits

• Prevents unnecessary permissions in builds.
• Avoids app store rejections.
• Simplifies configuration and debugging.

and you still can just write some mock description in Info.plist to pass auto-checks of appstore.

Thanks! If I understood correctly, the library will not trigger at runtime permission requests for these services I don't use, correct?
