I can't see API to request permission and this is a regression from iOS12 where this worked. This event is used to get critical information for 360 and VR applications. Also, the permission settings in the general device settings to allow access has been removed, as it seems, so I can't find a way to ask or set the permission. 1571547 1 webkit-bug-importer 2019-09-17 08:37:53 -0700 <rdar://problem/55440172> 1571748 2 cdumez 2019-09-17 17:02:26 -0700 You need to use the DeviceOrientation / DeviceMotion API to request permission to access this data (with a user interaction), which will prompt the user. See: https://w3c.github.io/deviceorientation/spec-source-orientation.html#dom-deviceorientationevent-requestpermission https://w3c.github.io/deviceorientation/spec-source-orientation.html#dom-devicemotionevent-requestpermission It was standardized.
