Best way to ask for Camera Permissions in App Clips

Normally, in an app that needs access to the camera, I would:

  1. make a view with some explanation of what the camera is used for, along with a button to ask for permissions.

  2. when pressed, this button will bring up the system popup (with another short description) for accepting camera permissions.

But for app clips, should I directly bring up the system popup and skip the view with the explanation? I know that the system popup can contain a description as well, but when it pops up all of a sudden, the user might accidentally click "Don't Allow".

Hi ahzzheng!

you can still use your explanation view before requesting camera access in your app clip. Using the same view helps providing a consistent experience between your app and app clip. When user gets your app, the camera permission will be transferred to your app so you don't need to request permission again.
