Plugin demo

There is a small demo app available to showcase this plugin and its usage: capacitor-plugin-app-tracking-transparency-demo-app

Usage

import {
  AppTrackingTransparency,
  AppTrackingStatusResponse,
} from 'capacitor-plugin-app-tracking-transparency';

...

public async getStatus(): Promise<AppTrackingStatusResponse> {
  const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.getStatus();

  console.log(response);
  // { status: 'authorized' } for example

  return response;
}

public async requestPermission(): Promise<AppTrackingStatusResponse> {
  const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.requestPermission();

  console.log(response);
  // { status: 'authorized' } for example

  return response;
}

Both available methods return AppTrackingStatusResponse with status: AppTrackingStatus, which will be one of the following: authorized, denied, notDetermined or restricted. See Apple's docs for reference.
