Missing info.plist file for C++ command line tool application within Xcode

问题

I want to create a camera calibration application with opencv for a university course. I have created a command line tool application on macOS High Sierra. Unfortunately it came without an info.plist file. My application crashes with the following error message:

CameraCalibration[2314:193066] [access] This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCameraUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data. Program ended with exit code: 9

I have already tried adding a info.plist file and setting it in the applications' General tab. I have also added the NSCameraUsageDescription key and string. Unfortunately my application keeps on crashing due to the exact same error.

You can embed an Info.plist in your binary by setting Create Info.plist Section in Binary and setting a path to your Info.plist file in Xcode > Target > Build Settings > Packaging (changes marked in bold):

Your Info.plist might look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
    <string>com.mycorp.myapp</string>
    <key>CFBundleName</key>
    <string>My App</string>
    <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
    <string>record from the microphone</string>
    <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
    <string>record from the camera</string>
</dict>
</plist>

N.B: when running in the debugger in Xcode (11.2.1/Catalina 10.15.1) I still get a privacy exception, however the plist is embedded in the binary. I guess this is an Xcode bug. Dropping an Info.plist into the Products directory works around this, although you seem to have to re-authorise microphone/camera usage every time the binary is modified.
