Example not working on iOS

[k15z]

The hello world example here is currently not working on Chrome or Safari on iOS devices - the red box stays centered in the screen regardless of how you move your device. It looks like it's missing a call to:

DeviceOrientationEvent.requestPermission()

@k15z thanks. This is related to recent issues/PRs in the main AR.js repository which address the same problem.

If I port the fixes from the main repo to LocAR.js, would you be happy testing it on your iOS device(s)?

We're needing iOS testers so your input is very welcome!

Of course, happy to help test!

@k15z OK I've applied a couple of recent fixes in the main AR.js repository to LocAR.js (especially AR-js-org/AR.js#659)

Your issue, I think, was that iOS devices require that a user make a gesture before initiating the permission request.

Try it again now, it should display a dialog box informing you that the app requires access to your sensors.
You can use either the current commit on GitHub or install version 0.0.7 via npm.

Many thanks!
