So as of iOS 13, Apple now requires a website or webview to ask permission before using the device motion API's for security reasons. The permission request launches a popup that the user has to agree to, which has to be done every time the app runs. For my tilt-based game, this is unacceptable. What do you guys think about reviving this plugin? Or, is there some workaround? I've been unable to find a way to permanently enable motion for a webview.

Similar issue in different repo:
processing/p5.js#4037

I know this plugin is now deprecated, but the last version of it was 2.0.1 - though it looks like someone was still doing a dev version 2.0.2.

My question is when it was deprecated, what were the version levels of cordova-ios and cordova-android (or cordova-cli) that this plugin was no longer needed?

My app is running significantly behind all the latest and greatest revs - so I need to determine that as of (example) [email protected] and [email protected] this plugin is not needed.

As well, if the plugin is no longer needed, where is the documentation on how to call the new integrated functions (previously used by this plugin) for device motion functionality?
