Camera App Permissions greyed out.

[ubuntu-touch-testing]

Nexus5: Camera App Permissions greyed out. System Settings --> Security & Privacy --> App permissions --> Camera 0 (Greyed out, not selectable)

Maybe related to issue #1419 ?

However, Front and Back Camera working correctly for Photos and Videos. Camera App did freeze the first few times after install, probably related to this permission issue, but after a reboot, update, use a few times, it now works correctly. Maybe a slight lag when the camera app is starting, but not sure if just the phone or related to a permission check timeout.

Feel free to ask me for more info on reproducing this, photo of the screen or to test anything.

I've confirmed this on other devices. It doesn't look like the camera permission manager is working. This is a critical problem for OTA-13.

Further detail... It appears that the camera permission manager is working on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi, which are both running Canonical-sanctioned device compatibility images. My Nexus 5, OnePlus One, Sony Xperia X, and FairPhone 2 do not have working camera permission managers. Instead, they allow access to the camera automatically.

I suspect this may have been the case for a longer time and I may have forgotten about it. I will continue to investigate.

Okay, this does not appear to be a regression but rather a missing feature. I'll still label it as a bug, but it is not critical.

I'm experiencing a similar bug.
