NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key must be present in Info.plist to use camera roll

by

Thanks @rmaddy, I added this just after other key-string pairs in Info.plist and fixed the problem:

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Photo Library Access Warning</string>

Edit:

I also ended up having similar problems on different components of my app. Ended up adding all these keys so far (after updating to Xcode8/iOS10):

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires access to the photo library.</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app does not require access to the microphone.</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires access to the camera.</string>
