Can we make a test for this that will fail on iOS?

I think it’s a bad pattern when we pass a pointer twice, once that we use and other for lifetime checking. In case like this, can we *not* capture this, please? Minimizes the chance we use it wrong. I feel the same way about capturing both "this" and "protectedThis".

We are only calling this code path in case the authorisation is undetermined, which will most probably trigger a prompt.
We usually avoid doing so as we cannot handle prompts easily.
That said, it seems we could investigate using some additional tools.
I filed rdar://problem/69687122.

Will change it. I agree for weakThis, since 'this' is unsafer than using weakThis.

Not sure about protectedThis though.
This is no different from using 'this' in a method where this is a protectedThis before.

Or we could add some testing API to force explicit request.
