            Bug ID: 201676
           Summary: unable to use VR - cannot access devicemotion event on
                    Safari 13 on iOS
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: oren.me at gmail.com

trying to query for window.DeviceMotionEvent gives back a warning message "No device motion or orientation events will be fired until permission has been requested and granted.".
I can't see API to request permission and this is a regression from iOS12 where this worked.
This event is used to get critical information for 360 and VR applications.
Also, the permission settings in the general device settings to allow access has been removed, as it seems, so I can't find a way to ask or set the permission.
