The wrong way to (re)request camera access on iOS


Screenshot of iOS app with “Connection Error message”

Recently I had to verify my passport details in the Alaska Airlines app on iOS - unfortunately the error UI for re-requesting camera access is impenetrable for regular users.

“Connection error” is completely wrong here, and worse: The “camera access disabled” message - while technically correct - does nothing to help a user actually solve the problem.

All error messages should give the user next steps on how to solve a problem.
