In my first upload from Xcode 8 to iTunes Store I received the following message from Apple

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCameraUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

I researched and then added the following entries to my info.plist

I then uploaded a new build to the iTunes store but have received the same warning email again.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT

I've added the Media Library Usage description (as suggested by Dan Clark below)

well, it turns out that the info.plist that I was editing in Xcode's left file list was not the plist that Xcode was referencing under identities. It was referencing an info.plist from a backup folder.

So there was never a problem with the usage description keys.
