device-orientation-permission-ui

Note: This documentation is for the old 1.5.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.6.0 version

Starting with Safari on iOS 13 browsers require sites to be served over https and request user permission to access DeviceOrientation events. This component presents a permission dialog for the user to grant or deny access. The device-orientation-permission-ui component applies only to the <a-scene> element

To configure the style of the dialog one can redefine the associated css styles. To change the colors of the allow, deny and ok buttons:

.a-dialog-allow-button {
background-color: red;
}

.a-dialog-deny-button {
background-color: blue;
}

.a-dialog-ok-button {
background-color: green;
}

The dialog can also be disabled all together if you prefer to handle the permissions workflow differently.

Example

<a-scene device-orientation-permission-ui="enabled: false"></a-scene>
