Adding the camera permission to Android

In order to get access to the camera in Android, we must add the required permission to the Android manifest. This can be done by following these steps:

1. In the Solution Explorer, open up the Android project node.
2. Double-click the Properties node to open the properties for Android.
3. Click the Android Manifest tab on the left, and scroll down until you see the Required permissions: section.
4. Locate the CAMERA permission and check the box.
5. Save the file by pressing Ctrl + S or File, and then Save. You can see the aforementioned fields and options that you need to select in the following screenshot:

Now that we have configured Android, we only have one small change to make on iOS before we are ready to write some code.
