Summary
Allow customisation of the pop-up message that appears when an Expo-based app attempts to connect to an Internet card reader for the first time, on iOS.
Motivation
On iOS 14+, the first time that the app attempts to connect to an Internet card reader (such as the WisePOS), a message appears asking the user to allow access to the Local Network. The description that appears can be customised by setting the
NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription
property list key. This change allows the description to be customised in an Expo app by setting thelocalNetworkUsagePermission
property in the relevant plugin config.Testing
