Should deprecation status be removed? #52

Closed stefanmdt closed 3 years ago

stefanmdt commented 4 years ago

Since iOS 13, the WKWebView requires user permission when fetching DeviceOrientationEvent. When DeviceOrientationEvent.requestPermission() is called, a modal is shown that asks permission for "localhost". After app restart, the modal is shown again. Thinking of a mobile app, this is probably not the best user experience. With the device orientation plugin, this problems could be worked around, couldn't it?

I also will be very happy if the deprecation status would be removed. My mobile app has navigation feature that resulted in very poor and non-native user experience since w3c/webkit protocol change (@stefanmdt described it well). I think this is also relevant for VR apps, in addition to compass feature in on-foot-navigation apps.

The plugin has been officially revived and we are resuming development. Please note, that we can't give any ETA when a new version will be available on npm. Testing, code reviews and other contributions are of course highly appreciated.
