Camera permission popup - I want to tell users to click Ok

Is there anyway of putting something on the screen to ask users to press Ok on the camera person popup. I have seen other apps do this but not sure of the best way.

I can get it to display on first run and in the right place, so there is a little arrow pointing at the Ok button but not how to get rid of it, when they click Ok ?

Just wondering if anyone had done it and how please.

Hi Dave,

What exactly are you showing which has a “little arrow pointing at the OK button”? A Corona display object/group/image? A native alert popup? What is the “OK” button? A Corona display object or a widget button, or an aspect of the camera popup? Basically, we’re going to need to see some code. :slight_smile:

Sorry maybe I didn’t explain properly.

If you have a app that uses the camera on first load iOS pops up a alert asking for permission, the options are “Don’t Allow” and “Ok”. Obviously I want the user to press “Ok”.

Now in the background you can still see your app, so on first run I display something in my app pointing at the iOS “Ok” button.

Trouble is I have no way of knowing they have pressed “Ok” as it’s iOS asking not my app. So when they click “Ok” and control returns to my app, I still have a graphic pointing at the “Ok” button which doesn’t exist anymore.

Now ideally I sit waiting for a “Your app now has permission to use the camera” and I will dismiss the text/arrow.

As an example this is a app I use for cleaning space, you see how he has put a hand under the Done button, that is fine but how do I know they have clicked Done as it’s a iOS popup.

Hi Dave,

I can’t think of any way to communicate between the iOS-triggered alert and your Corona app without (perhaps) integrating it via Enterprise.

Best regards,
