Description

Description
When starting the app for the first time, the user is asked to use the camera. If they elect not to, the app asks to open settings to enable it. If the user again declines, the app is closed. This happens each time the user opens the app, the process repeats.

Expected
We should just turn off the face controls, and when turning it on again in settings, ask the user for permissions there.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the first-launch flow when camera permission is declined, then trace where camera permission and face controls are handled. Done means the app remains open with face controls disabled, and enabling them again through settings requests permission appropriately.
