# contentAuthorizationRequestStatus

The status of the most recent content authorization request.

## Declaration

```swift
var contentAuthorizationRequestStatus: AVContentAuthorizationStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property reports the authorization status as determined by the most recent call to requestContentAuthorizationAsynchronously(withTimeoutInterval:completionHandler:). The value will be AVContentAuthorizationStatus.unknown before the first call and between the time a request call is made and just prior to the completion handler being executed (thus it is safe to query this property from the completion handler). This value is not key-value observable.
