A property that reports the current authorization status of the app, and never prompts the user.

```
class var authorizationStatus: ENAuthorizationStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

> Important:
> This property is available in iOS 12.5, and in iOS 13.5 and later.

This property can be used by the app to preflight authorization in order to determine if the user may be prompted.
