# Usage

# Pinch

Tip

It is recommended that you set the SDK to test mode while developing. This will allow both you and us to verify that everything is integrated correctly. This setting persists until the application is removed from the manifest. Please note that test-mode interferes with the built-in privacy aggregator for location by sending GPS coordinates. Refer to native Android documentation to see how to enable this.

# Android

Add the following permission to your applications manifest: <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION"/>

If your application targets Android 9 (API level 28) or lower, the system will auto-grant the required permission as long as the permission line is present in manifest. If you're application targets an API level higher than 28, you need to explicity request Manifest.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION during onboarding. If this doesn't work, you may have to explicitly request com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION instead.

# iOS

Add the following key and value to your applications Info.plist:

<key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
<string>Text to show in system dialog during permission request</string>

Motion data will be collected alongside location updates, which requires the location provider to be enabled.

A convenience method to request motion permission is provided for iOS only: await Pinch.requestMotionPermission();

# General

Motion tracking can be enabled after aquiring the required permissions. This is done by calling: await Pinch.startMotionProvider();
