            Bug ID: 213467
           Summary: WKWebView doesn't show motion usage description
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 13
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

If you have a Cordova app that uses WKWebView and devicemotion events, since iOS 13 it's required to request motion permissions with DeviceMotionEvent.requestPermission(), but the configured NSMotionUsageDescription is not shown and that causes App Store rejection.

See sample app

https://github.com/jcesarmobile/cordova-requestPermission-issue

run
cordova prepare
open platforms/ios/HelloCordova.xcworkspace
and run from Xcode on any iOS 13 device
click "Access DeviceMotions" and the prompt shows "" Would Like to Access Motion and Orientation. But not the configured NSMotionUsageDescription.
As there is no NSMotionUsageDescription shown, Apple rejects the app because of their own bug.

see reported issue where the user claims that the app was rejected because of that https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/891

I would expect that the app shows the configured NSMotionUsageDescription text or that Apple doesn't reject apps because of that.
