    My apologies, the code has been refactored to be testable, so it doesn't merge cleanly anymore. It should be an easy rebase from your patch (I hope).

>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0

> In iOS 8, it's possible for the camera to be disabled for any given app; in iOS 7, this was only possible in certain regions (e.g. China).
> If the camera is disabled, and someone launches the Camera plugin to capture an image from the camera, they'll just get the camera UI with a black screen, and no indication that the camera permission is disabled for the app. A better UX would be to show the user a prompt indicating that the camera permission is disabled, and (on iOS 8) providing a button to take them to the Settings app to change it.
> As of iOS 7, there's a new API to test whether the app has access to capture the desired media type:
