########## File path: README.md ########## @@ -27,12 +27,172 @@ description: Access accelerometer data. # cordova-plugin-device-motion +# Usage Notice + +With the [W3C Device Orientation API](https://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-event/), Android, iOS, and Windows devices may not need this plugin anymore. + +However, for iOS 13+, a [secure context](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts) is required. Apple does not allow access to the device’s motion or the permission request from an insecure browsing context. + +If you use a custom scheme, i.e., the `app` protocol, for your iOS app, the browsing context is considered insecure. To solve this problem and be able to use the device motion feature, this plugin will be necessary on iOS 13+. Review comment: Are you sure? My test app is running on `ionic://my-domain.com` and on user interaction the request was denied with `Call to requestPermission() failed, reason: Browsing context is not secure.` This also conforms with the description of secure contexts of the MDN doc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
