Objective-C
- ( void ) presentConsentOverlayFromViewController: ( UIViewController * ) rootViewController { if ( rootViewController == nil ) { return ; } dispatch_async ( dispatch_get_main_queue (), ^ { UIAlertController * alert = [ UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle : @"Location data" message : @"We may use your location, and share it with third parties," @"for the purposes of personalized advertising, analytics, and attribution." @"To learn more, visit our privacy policy at https://myapp.com/privacy." preferredStyle : UIAlertControllerStyleAlert ]; UIAlertAction * ok = [ UIAlertAction actionWithTitle : @"OK" style : UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler : ^ ( UIAlertAction * action ) { [ alert dismissViewControllerAnimated : YES completion :^ { // TODO: replace the below log statement with code that specifies // how you want to handle the user's acknowledgement. NSLog ( @"Got consent." ); }]; }]; [ alert addAction : ok ]; [ rootViewController presentViewController : alert animated : YES completion : nil ]; }); } // To use the previous function assuming you are in a view controller: [ self presentConsentOverlayFromViewController : self ];
