- handler:

Discussion
Calling this method will present the user with the opportunity to authorize the content (for example, by launching iTunes and prompting the user to enter their Apple ID and password).
When the user has taken action (or the timeout has elapsed), the completion handler is invoked. You determine the status of the authorization attempt by checking the value of the contentAuthorizationRequestStatus property.
Even if the status indicates a completed authorization, the content may still not be authorized (for example, if the user authorizes an Apple ID other than that associated with the content). You should re-check the value of contentAuthorizationRequestStatus to verify whether the content has actually been authorized before continuing. It is not necessary to call this method if the value of contentAuthorizationRequestStatus is already true.
