public async getStatus(): Promise<AppTrackingStatusResponse> {
const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.getStatus();
console.log(response);
// { status: 'authorized' } for example
return response;
}
public async requestPermission(): Promise<AppTrackingStatusResponse> {
const response = await AppTrackingTransparency.requestPermission();
