Installation
Ready to use on iOS 11+. Supports iOS, tvOS, and SwiftUI.
Swift Package Manager
In Xcode go to File -> Packages -> Update to Latest Package Versions and insert url:
https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit
or adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit", .upToNextMajor(from: "9.0.0"))
]Next, choose the permissions you need. But don't add all of them, because apple will reject app.
CocoaPods:
This is an outdated way of doing things. I advise you to use SPM. However, I will continue to support Cocoapods for some time.
Cocoapods Instalation
CocoaPods is a dependency manager. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
pod 'PermissionsKit/NotificationPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'Due to Apple's new policy regarding permission access you need to specifically define what kind of permissions you want to access using subspecs.
pod 'PermissionsKit/CameraPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'
pod 'PermissionsKit/ContactsPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'
pod 'PermissionsKit/CalendarPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'

pod 'PermissionsKit/SiriPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'
pod 'PermissionsKit/HealthPermission', :git => 'https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit'Request Permission
import PermissionsKit
import NotificationPermission
Permission.notification.request {
}Status Permission
import PermissionsKit
import NotificationPermission
let authorized = Permission.notification.authorizedKeys in Info.plist
You need to add some keys to the Info.plist file with descriptions, per Apple's requirements. You can get a plist of keys for permissions as follows:
let key = Permission.bluetooth.usageDescriptionKeyDo not use the description as the name of the key.
Localisation
If you use xliff localization export, keys will be create automatically. If you prefer do the localization file manually, you need to create InfoPlist.strings, select languages on the right side menu and add keys as keys in plist-file. See:
"NSCameraUsageDescription" = "Here description of usage camera";
Apple Review
Apple changed its review guidelines in June 2021. When requesting permissions, apps should require users to always request and make a decision whether to allow or decline the permission. For this reason, the close button in PermissionsKit is hidden by default. If you want to force show the close button, run the following code:
// Show & hide close button
controller.showCloseButton = true
// Enable or Disable drag intercation
controller.allowSwipeDismiss = trueAlso changed the title for the button. Instead of allow now use continue. The Apple Review Team asked for this. For details, check out this issue.
