is there a standard dialog for 'app does not have access to your photos'?

Is there a standard UIView/controller/dialog provided in iOS SDK for informing the user the app does not have access to X resource and this can be fixed from iOS privacy settings.

I have noticed a consistent view seen in many apps (snapshot below is taken from Viber). I could not find any API that would give me this dialog. I suppose I can just create one but still wanted to double check?

For the particular case I have I want to alert the user if app does not have access to user calendar/ reminders.

(I have a BOOL result in my code that tells me access granted true/false -I have to next alert the user with appropriate UI.)

This interface can appear for the calendar if you use EKEventEditViewController.

The public API's UIImagePickerController displays that view if the app doesn't have access to the user's photo library. It's a _UIAccessDeniedView, which is a private class.

As far as I know, the public API doesn't provide an event picker controller, so there's no way to make the system display a similar “standard” view for calendars/reminders in your app.

If you want to set up a similar view yourself, you can extract the lock image using the iOS Artwork Extractor; it's named “UIAccessDeniedViewLock.png”. Warning: copyright infringement. Will Apple care? I have no idea.
