react-native-device-rotation
Get updates about a phones attitude in three axis. Values are in degrees and are roll, pitch and azimuth. Works for android and iOS. From my testing the differences are: pitch degrees are flipped for android and iOS, north (azimuth = 0) is the top of the phone in android and the right og the phone in iOS.
TODOS:
- it's an early version of the package, so theres room for improvements
- make sure values are the same on ios and android
- method to check availability of the sensors

Credits
- I found some older libraries for either android or iOS. I was greatly influenced by these solutions:
- react-native-sensor-manager
- RNDeviceAngles
