   App Tracking Transparency (ATT) is related to using external tracking sources to identify users or devices for the purposes of marketing.
   
   This may indirectly apply to this plugin if you collect location data and share it with a data broker, for the purpose of attaching location information to a tracker identifier; in which case you should honour the request of the user if they deny tracking.
   
   While ATT may be indirectly related, I feel like implementing any kind of ATT prompts in this plugin is out of scope, and probably should be handled by a more generic API or plugin instead.
   
   Using geolocation for the purpose of providing functionality to your app is not related to ATT; however you still need to provide usage justification, e.g: "This app requires location to automatically show your position on Map"
   
   This can be accomplished by using the below config for example:
   
   ```xml
   <edit-config target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
       <string>This allows TotalPave PCI to center the map to your location to make it easier to select nearby sections.</string>
   </edit-config>
   <edit-config target="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
       <string>This allows TotalPave PCI to center the map to your location to make it easier to select nearby sections.</string>
   </edit-config>
   ```
