Seems like a poorly thought out policy. It should be another permission. "App ABC would like to capture your screen Y/N" Also IMO if Apple was really serious about privacy they'd remove the permission for apps to use your camera and see all your photos and instead require apps to use a system camera a UI (so the system takes the picture, not the app) and similarly if an app wants a photo from your library it should be required to use some system photo selector so that the app can only see the photos you select for it. As it is, every app that asks for camera permission can use the camera anytime it wants for any reason. Similarly any app that asks for permission to see your photos can see all of your photos anytime it wants. Neither of those is compatible with the idea that Apple is a privacy first company. Note that if Apple enforced those you wouldn't need to grant most apps camera and photo library permissions since they wouldn't get access to the camera data unless you took a picture while in the app or select photos. I get it might suck in that gating the camera to system only means experimental camera apps are out. Maybe they could find a way to add secure hooks or maybe they need to add a new permission that hopefully security conscious people would rarely grant which is "Can this app access the camera anytime it wants for any reason including spying on you?" Similarly only using the system photo selector would mean apps can't make fancier photo selectors but again, you could add permission for that if it's really important. For example Dropbox/Google/Flickr/Facebook upload all your photos features would need a "Can this app spy on 100% of the photos on your device?" AFAIK access to depth data currently requires no permission. Seems again that that's not a privacy-first policy. Also, Apple is apparently yanking the ability for for webpages to access orientation data. Why should apps be any different?
