The app's Info.plist must contain an NSContactsUsageDescription key

Question

I am getting a crash below:

This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSContactsUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

But I have already added the 'Privacy - Contacts Usage Description' key

Did you try clean and build your project? – Forestaysail

I have this problem now on a fresh project. I didn't get an Info.plist when creating the project and adding it seems to make no difference. Cleaning doesn't either. – Furnary

Answer 1

Please check your .plist as a source code and see if your key doesn't contain space at the end like:

<key>NSContactsUsageDescription </key>

Answer 2

Could be that you have accidentally added the key to your UITests target. I've done that a few times with the location privacy keys.

By the way, your contacts usage description "Allow contact access" probably would not pass Apple's review, because it does not state why you want to use them.

Go To info.plist And

Privacy - Contacts Usage Description

Value : Allow Contact Access For Details

Answer 4

I had this problem. There was no Info.plist in a new project and adding it didn't do anything.

Solution:

• Click project
• Select Info tab
• HERE you can add stuff!
