On a serious note: a _software_ camera activity indicator? Seriously?

the only way to access the camera or microphone on the iphone is via
the appropriate framework, therefore a software activity indicator will
work.

that same framework also requests permission and will only allow access
it permission is granted.


Each time it is used (the program) or only the first time or when installed?


the first time an app wants to access the camera, microphone, location,
photos, contacts, bluetooth, clipboard and many other things, it asks
for permission:


Only if it plays by the rules.

Or are Apple-hackers not as skilled as Win-hackers ?
