Permit framework provides a universal API for querying the permission status of different kinds of permissions, in an abstracted format with only what the user needs to know.

Ready to use of iOS 12+. For iOS only right now.

Permit can be installed throught Cocoapods. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Apple Platforms. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'Permit'

Permit aims to provide a very minimal API for accessing and requesting permissions for different use cases. For a list of available use cases, see available use cases.

Request status between isAuthorized, isDenied and isNotDetermined like:

if Permit.isAuthorized(usecase: .camera) {
	// do any stuff for authorised
} else {
	// we know that it is either denied or not-determined..
	// so, request permission which handles both usecases internally.
	Permit.requestPermission(usecase: type, showPopupIfNeededOn: self) { result in
		switch result {
		case let .success(type):
			// do permission granted stuff
		case let .failure(error):
		 // show error dialog
	}
}

You can also provide custom alert configs like:

struct DeniedAlertConfig: AlertConfig {
  var title: String
  var message: String
  var cancelButtonText: String
  var settingsButtonText: String
  
  init() {
      self.title = "Demo Denied Alert Title"
      self.message = "Demo Denied Alert Message"
      self.cancelButtonText = "Cancel"
      self.settingsButtonText = "Settings"
  }
}

And use them while requesting permissions as:

let config: AlertConfig = DeniedAlertConfig()
Permit.requestPermission(usecase: type, 
                         showPopupIfNeededOn: self, 
                         settingsDialogConfig: alertConfig) { result in }

• Camera
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Location When In Use
• Location Always
• Microphone
• Notifications
• Photos

• More coverage on Permission across Apple platforms.
• More platform support - MacOS, TvOS etc.
• Segregation between frameworks so that only needed ones can be used.
• [Maybe?] Custom alerts for pre-asking some permissions.
