Permissions
Installation
Ready to use on iOS 12+. Supports iOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS & watchOS. Working with UIKit and SwiftUI.
Swift Package Manager
In Xcode go to Project -> Your Project Name -> Package Dependencies -> Tap Plus. Insert url:
https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit
Next, choose the permissions that you need. But don't add all of them, because apple will reject app.
Or adding it to the dependencies of your Package.swift:
.package(url: "https://github.com/sparrowcode/PermissionsKit", .upToNextMajor(from: "11.0.0"))
]
and choose valid targets.
CocoaPods:
This is an outdated way. I advise you to use SPM. However, I will continue to support Cocoapods for some time.
Cocoapods Installation
CocoaPods is a dependency manager. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
Due to Apple's new policy regarding permission access you need to specifically define what kind of permissions you want to access using subspecs.

Why Modules
If you put all your code into one package and compile it, the Apple Review Team will see a lot of calls to the permissions API. Most likely, they will ask you to provide a valid reason for why you really need those permissions. Using modules allows you to compile only the parts of the code that are actually in use. Just select only what you need.
Warning
Import only the permissions you really need.
Request Permission
import NotificationPermission
PermissionsKit.Permission.notification([.alert, .badge, .sound]).request {
}
Get Status Permission
import NotificationPermission
let authorized = Permission.notification.authorized
Warning
For FaceID permission no way detect if request .authorized or .notDetermined accurate. Status .denied detect well. For now for both states return .notDetermined.
Keys in Info.plist
You need to add some strings to the Info.plist file with descriptions per Apple's requirements. You can get a plist of keys for permissions as follows:
Note
Do not use the description as the name of the key. Xcode can't build this.
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";
