Need help requesting authorization to use personal voice in tts app

Question

So I have a tts app and I'm trying to add the new iOS 17 personal voice as an option. I'm stuck on how to request auth to use voice. Here's what I have so far:

- (void)requestAuthorization
{
    NSInteger row = [self.languagePicker selectedRowInComponent:0];
    NSString *selected = [self.pickerData objectAtIndex:row];
    self.languageChosen = selected;
    
    if ([self.languageChosen isEqualToString:@"Personal"]) {
        AVSpeechSynthesizer             requestPersonalVoiceAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:<#^(AVSpeechSynthesisPersonalVoiceAuthorizationStatus status)handler#>
    }
}

I don’t know what to do after "requestPersonalVoiceAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:"

any help will be really appreciated.

Here's how I'm doing it. So far so good.

-(void) MeTalkTPretty

{
    if (@available(iOS 17.0, *)) {
        [AVSpeechSynthesizer requestPersonalVoiceAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(AVSpeechSynthesisPersonalVoiceAuthorizationStatus status) {
            NSLog(@"AVSpeechSynthesis requestPersonalVoiceWCH returned %lu", (unsigned long)status);
            
            if (status ==  AVSpeechSynthesisPersonalVoiceAuthorizationStatusAuthorized)
            {
                NSLog(@"Yippee! I can use personal voice");
                // set this in case none of the voices are personal voice
                voiceToUse = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.currentLanguageCode];

                for (AVSpeechSynthesisVoice *thisVoice in [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice speechVoices])
                {
                
                        if (thisVoice.voiceTraits == AVSpeechSynthesisVoiceTraitIsPersonalVoice)
                        {
                            voiceToUse = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithIdentifier:thisVoice.identifier];
                            NSLog(@"WINNER is personal voice %@ ",  voiceToUse);

                        }
                    
                }

            }
        
            else
            {
                NSLog(@"darn, I can't use personal voice even though on iOS17");
                voiceToUse = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.currentLanguageCode];

            }
             
        }];
    }
    
    else {
        NSLog(@"Darn, I can't use personal voice because this device isn't running ios17");
        voiceToUse = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.currentLanguageCode];

    }
}
