I have a test device which runs iOS 14 and got into this restricted mode:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apptrackingtransparency/attrackingmanager/authorizationstatus/restricted
And the Allow Apps To Request To Track setting is disabled and cannot be changed, too.
Why is a device in restricted mode and how to get out of it?

It seems that currently the authorisation status is frozen to restricted on real devices. In the simulator it works

@Fri3ndlyGerman
In the simulator, the value of 'ATTrackingManager.trackingAuthorizationStatus' is also viewed as 'ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied' when the status is 'Allow Apps Request to Track to Track' to Off.

What should I do to check the ATTrackingManagerAuthoratusRestricted status?

xCode and iOS were all tested on data 5.

The same happening with my test device tested with iPhone8 running ios 14.5 beta.

My application asked ATT consent
I allowed tracking
Status changed to ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusAuthorized

But after some time status automatically changed to ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusRestricted

Anybody have any clue, are few devices restricted from Apple side for tracking?
