   The latest Halide update was rejected because, after seven years, a random reviewer decided our permission prompt wasn't descriptive enough.

   I don't know how to explain why a camera app needs camera permissions.

     This was one of those rejections where they're like, "If this is a bug fix, we can accept it for now, but you need to fix this in your next update."

     We replied, "Yes, please approve, we'll fix it." 36 hours later, they approved, but we still need to deal with this.

     Paul Cantrell and Warner Crocker repeated this.

     I submitted an update with our permission prompts in iambic pentameter. It was approved.

     (We won't release it. I just had to know.)

     They didn't ask us to change the location permission prompt, but I threw in a limerick for good measure.
