Tracking Authorization Status memo on iOS 14
environment
- Xcode12.3
- iOS 14.2 iPhone SE
conditions
- Device: Settings> Privacy> Tracking> Allow tracking requests from App
- App: Tracking Request Dialog
Tracking request movement
| Terminal | Tracking request | App | status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permit | Not yet | - | notDetermined |
| Already | Permit | authorized | |
| Reject | denied | ||
| Reject | Not yet | - | denied |
| Already | Permit | denied | |
| Reject | denied |
As expected. If you change the device setting from deny to allow without issuing a tracking request, it will return to not Determined properly.
Movement after allowing tracking request
If you deny the device settings after allowing the tracking request in the app, this dialog will appear
No dialog if you have not requested or rejected the tracking request
When I selected "Allow the app to continue tracking", it was such a screen, so I wondered if I could get it even if I refused it on the terminal, but that was not the case.
When you redisplay it, it is turned off properly.
It seems that the status at the time of re-permission is left as it is in the terminal settings
| dialog | status | Status at the time of re-permission in the terminal settings |
|---|---|---|
| Allow the app to continue tracking | denied | authorized |
| "Request App to stop tracking" | denied | denied |
Movement of tracking request when terminal is rejected
Also, if you make a tracking request at the time of refusal on the terminal, denied will be set and it will remain denied even if you return the terminal setting to allow. If no tracking request has been issued, it will return to notDetermined.
When the terminal is rejected
| Tracking request | status | Status after changing to terminal permission |
|---|---|---|
| Not yet | denied | notDetermined |
| Already | denied | denied |
