Hello, when I'm asking for the ATT permission don't wait for the user response. I doesn't matter which approach use never waits for user answer.

Using xcode 15.2 on iOS 17.4 simulators, versions before like iOS 17.2 works without any issue.

            Task {
                self.resultStatus = await ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization()
                completion()
            }
        }

            ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization(completionHandler: { status in
                self.resultStatus = status
                completion()
            })
        }

I can confirm this bug happens on tvOS 17.4. I have an iOS running on 16.3, which doesn't have the bug.

If anyone would like an example requesting app tracking authorization using the workaround from @davidfromgainesville, but in the form of Objective-C, here is the code I used that is working for me:

void requestTrackingAuthorization()
{
    [ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) {
        if (status == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied && [ATTrackingManager trackingAuthorizationStatus] == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined)
        {
            [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification object:nil queue:nil usingBlock:^(NSNotification * _Nonnull note) {
                requestTrackingAuthorization();
            }];
        }
        else
        {
            // Do something with status
        }
    }];
}

This issue is so strange to me. We released the app tracking transparency last week. It worked fine when I ran the debug app with an Apple TV device on 17.4. Then I tried the one from the AppStore, but it didn't work. And I can't turn on the allow tracking from the setting.

I updated my device to 17.5, which briefly allowed me to turn on the tracking; when I ran the same app from the AppStore, I didn't get the app tracking transparency dialog, and when I rechecked the settings, I couldn't turn on the allow tracking option.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

I'm also getting spammed with main thread warnings when I call

    func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
        Task { [weak self] in
            guard let self else { return }
            
            await ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization()
        }
    }
