Question 1

How do I use ISHPermissionKit with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Since ISHPermissionKit uses UIKit view controllers, you need to wrap it in a UIViewControllerRepresentable for SwiftUI. The sample app is in Objective-C, so you'll have to adapt the view controller presentation in SwiftUI manually.

Question 2

Is ISHPermissionKit better than requesting permissions directly in iOS?

Accepted Answer

ISHPermissionKit is better when you need to explain permissions before system dialogs or handle sequential requests. For simple, one-off permissions, direct iOS APIs are simpler and may suffice without the framework overhead.

Question 3

What happens if a user denies permission with ISHPermissionKit?

Accepted Answer

The framework tracks permission states and allows custom handling through delegate methods. You can prompt users again later or guide them to settings, but it doesn't automate retries beyond the initial sequence without additional code.

Question 4

Why are build flags necessary in ISHPermissionKit?

Accepted Answer

Build flags ensure only the permission categories you use are compiled, preventing App Store rejections for containing unused sensitive code. This is critical for compliance with Apple's privacy guidelines, as explained in the installation instructions.

Question 5

How can I add a new permission category to ISHPermissionKit?

Accepted Answer

You need to subclass ISHPermissionRequest, implement permissionState and requestUserPermissionWithCompletionBlock methods, and wire it up in ISHPermissionRequest+All. The README provides detailed steps for contributors, including updating build flags and CocoaPods subspecs.

Question 6

Does ISHPermissionKit support dark mode in custom UI?

Accepted Answer

No, ISHPermissionKit doesn't impose any UI styles; developers are responsible for making their custom view controllers support dark mode and other iOS features, as the framework leaves all chrome design to the developer.

Question 7

Is ISHPermissionKit still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

Based on the README, there's a roadmap with missing features, and updates might be infrequent. Check the GitHub repository for recent commits and issue activity to gauge current maintenance status.
