I was following the below documentation for getting the Raw Gyroscope events. Somehow I am unable to make the below code working.

if motion.isGyroAvailable {
    self.motion.gyroUpdateInterval = 1.0 / 60.0
    self.motion.startGyroUpdates()

    // Configure a timer to fetch the accelerometer data.
    self.acceTimer = Timer(fire: Date(), interval: (1.0/60.0),
            repeats: true, block: { (timer) in
        // Get the gyro data.
        if let data = self.motion.gyroData {
        let x = data.rotationRate.x
        let y = data.rotationRate.y
        let z = data.rotationRate.z

        // Use the gyroscope data in your app.
        print("rotationX: \(x) , rotationY: \(y) , rotationZ: \(z)")
        }
    })

    // Add the timer to the current run loop.
    RunLoop.current.add(self.acceTimer!, forMode: .default)
}

The isGyroAvailable always returns false

Hi Ramesh, did you get a response? Or did you manage to solve the issue? In a similar situation, I question all sensor's availability, and Gyroscope and Magnetometer reports are false. However, using the app "Sensor-App" from the app store, clearly, the gyro information is available.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
