Usage

In Vue >

<script>
import {
  AppTrackingTransparency,
  AppTrackingStatusResponse,
} from 'app-tracking-transparency-capacitor-ionic';

export default {
  async mounted() {
    requestPermission(); 
  },
};

async function requestPermission() {
  try {
    const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.requestPermission();
    console.log(response); // { status: 'authorized' } for example
    status.value = response;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error requesting permission:', error);
  }
}



async function getStatus() {
  try {
    const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.getStatus();
    console.log(response); // { status: 'authorized' } for example
    status.value = response;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error getting status:', error);
  }
}
</script>

In Angular

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

...

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.
