## What it is
PermissionScope is a Swift framework for iOS that provides a unified API for checking and requesting system permissions (notifications, location, camera, microphone, contacts, etc.) along with a pre-built UI for explaining and requesting them. It also detects denied permissions and prompts users to open system settings.

## Use cases
- request multiple iOS permissions with a single UI
- check the status of camera or microphone permission in Swift
- show a custom dialog explaining why my app needs location access
- detect denied permissions and send users to iOS settings
- unified permissions API for iOS apps

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy iOS 8-10 app already using it
- needing a quick permissions UI for an older Swift 3 project

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project targeting iOS 11+ APIs
- needing maintained, updated permission handling
- building for SwiftUI or modern Swift concurrency
