That's surely related to the fact that Safari disable by default access to gyroscope. It can be activated manually by this procedure : https://3dvistanews.wordpress.com/2019/04/11/how-to-get-your-gyroscope-back-on-ios/

Nothing we can do on our side (except maybe alert the user that we can't access the gyroscope?!)

In IOS 13 the Gyroscope setting can not be accessed anymore in the settings of safari . —- and looks like It will not come back

No warning needed. Let’s add this info in the faq of Helpdesk @mariokeusen

The only way to have access to this on iOs seems to have a dedicated app that states what it needs beforehand

@pakb you mentioned there is a setting even in ios13? Because I don’t find it

[pakb]

that is in the end not the case, the only thing "settings" can fix is location. For gyroscope, we have to make a dedicated app. I could delve a little bit more into the webapp manifest brought by https://github.com/geoadmin/mf-geoadmin3/pull/5050 maybe there's a way to express we need the gyroscope here, so that homescreen link could access it.
