Compass does not work on iOS #13

Closed fidian closed 3 months ago

Figure out why the compass doesn't work and fix it if possible.

It appears that the absolute orientation sensor is not there or not allowed to be accessed. Fall back to the relative orientation sensor as long as it has the compass info.

Should also prompt for three permissions at once for devices with AbsoluteOrientationSensor.

Fixed by completely changing compass
