Vylo app for iOS: App crashes if camera switcher activated while camera permissions disabled

 iOS 16.3

Date: 02/12/2023

Vylo app for iOS (version 1.1.20)

Description:

There is an easy to reproduce crash with the current version (1.1.20) of the Vylo app for iOS. This app happens if the user declines camera access and then enters into the Record Video screen and selects the camera switch option. 

I always attempt this with every app that I download, and this was the rare (perhaps only) time that it crashes an iOS app. Here's a link to a video of the crash. 

Download the Vylo app and set it so that the app does NOT have camera access. 

Screenshot of the crash dump. 






Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a Vylo account

2. Decline camera access 

3. With camera access declined, select "+ Create"

4. Select "Record Video"

5. From the AVCam prompt, select "OK"

6. Select the Camera Switch option in the bottom right corner of the screen

Result: The Vylo app will crash if the use selects the camera switch option with camera access declined 

Expected: App should not crash if the camera switch option is activate with camera access declined 

With camera access declined, select the "+ Create" option...

With camera access declined, select "Record Video"

Select the "OK" option...

The app will crash after the camera switch option is activated. This is a rare crash, as I do this with every app I download and have never seen this particular crash, to my recollection.
