Summary:
If you change the privacy permissions of an app in from the settings app while that app is still running it gets killed.

Can we suggest that you post an NSNotification informing the app that its privacy permissions have changed and only crashing the app if it violates its new permissions after receiving (but not handling) the NSNotification?

Steps to Reproduce:
Change the privacy permissions of an app in from the settings app while that app is still running


Expected Results:
Should not kill app

Actual Results:
Kills app

Version:
At least 7 and up
