This bug is filed to cover adding support for authorizationStatusForMediaType and requestAccessForMediaType when we are running on macOS 10.14. On Mojave, access to the camera/mic from an application prompts the user to allow or deny access. 10.14 includes API's to query the current permission status and to request the permission. I'm splitting the platform work out from bug 1479051 to this bug. See bug 1479051 for additional details.

Add a new interface nsIOSPermissionRequest for querying the staus of access permissions for audio/video media capture and requesting access to audio/video capture devices. Provides an implementation for macOS 10.14 and a default implementation (nsOSPermissionRequestBase) for earlier macOS versions and other platforms. The default implementation always returns status indicating access is allowed.

Is this something we should consider for Beta uplift?

(In reply to Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM] from comment #5) > Is this something we should consider for Beta uplift? Once bug 1479051 is landed, we should consider uplifting the two to be ready for the release of macOS 10.14. Bug 1470833 is another 10.14 bug we will likely want to uplift, but it isn't in Nightly yet.

Is this something we want to still consider for Beta uplift with a week left before the RC?

(In reply to (PTO 8-Oct) Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM] from comment #8) > Is this something we want to still consider for Beta uplift with a week left > before the RC? No. This bug lays the groundwork for bug 1479051 which I hope to land this week and wouldn't want to uplift to Beta so late in the cycle.

marking as wontfix for 63 as per comment #9

I've received some uplift requests for bug 1479051 and have filed the request for Beta on 1479051. I will file the uplift request for this bug this morning.

From the site's perspective, the cam/mic appear to work, but the received camera stream is just black pixels." Is this code covered by automated tests?: No Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes Needs manual test from QE?: No If yes, steps to reproduce: List of other uplifts needed: None Risk to taking this patch: Medium Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Changes are partially covered by automated tests for WebRTC. The changes are not very complex, only affect Mac builds, and some of the code is only used on Mojave. String changes made/needed: None
