Thanks, Jesse. JIRA issue is created for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7667
I have a code change locally that seems to work well for me. Shall I put it in a PR, or paste the code into the bug? It does require AVFoundation (to call the API below), and some localized strings to display in the alert dialog – though the latter could be handled by the JS caller if necessary.

Thanks Dan! Please create an issue in JIRA [1] You can assign component "iOS, Plugin Camera, Plugin Capture" This looks pretty easy to fix, so I don't think you'll have to wait long.

(Previously, I think this was only limited to certain regions such as China.) As of iOS 7, there's a new API to test whether the app has access to capture the desired media type: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVCaptureDevice_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/AVCaptureDevice/authorizationStatusForMediaType: [AVCaptureDevice authorizationStatusForMediaType:mediaType]; I didn't see any existing issues or discussion on this topic, so thought I'd bring it up here. Is detecting this scenario, and popping up a UIAlertView notifying the user (and offering a button to take them to the settings app), a reasonable addition to the camera plugin? I'm happy to put together a PR and file an issue if you think it's worth adding. Thanks, Dan (I'm not on the dev list, so please include me directly in all replies.)
