[FREQ] Make microphone permission optional

[tiendq]

Assuming your app only uses camera to take photos then there is no reason to tell users that it needs to access micro phone. I think app should not ask for micro phone if outputType: .photo and .outputTypePickerVisible(false), it means micro phone is not used anywhere.

Thank you,

Yeah would really appreciate tighter controls on privacy prompts.

@tiendq @mpdifran if you use camera for photos only, you can try my optional-microphone-permission branch, I've added requireMicrophoneUsage Bool property to CameraManager init that wraps all calls to microphone.
Sadly I don't have much free time now to check how it plays along with video mode, so it's not complete, but works for me in photo only mode :)

Hey,

OMG, it's been a while since I last worked on this framework and it looks like there's a lot of stuff to do 😅.

I'm just letting you know that I'm starting work on it today; today I'm going to create a backlog, prioritise tasks and start the first sprint, so you'll know which things are going to be fixed / implemented first.

I'm sorry I haven't maintained it for so long, but I had to spend too much time on Popups, and I literally had no time for this project. However, that will change now 😉

Have a nice day,
Tomasz

Thank you, I'll try it.

@FulcrumOne I'm just curious about this one, I see it was marked as In review 5 days ago but I don't see any related PR, where is your PR?

[FulcrumOne]

@tiendq, I have not yet created a PR as this is part of a larger update I am still working on, however you can use the patch-3.0.0 branch
