Access accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pedometer, and activity-recognition data using CoreMotion. Use when reading device sensor data, counting steps, detecting user activity (walking/running/driving), tracking altitude changes, or implementing motion-based interactions in iOS/watchOS apps.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CoreMotion

Read device sensor data -- accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pedometer, and
activity recognition -- on iOS and watchOS. CoreMotion fuses raw sensor inputs into
processed device-motion data and provides pedometer/activity APIs for fitness and
navigation use cases. Targets Swift 6.3 / iOS 26+.

## Setup

### Info.plist

Add `NSMotionUsageDescription` to Info.plist with a user-facing string explaining
why your app needs motion data. Without this key, the app crashes on first access.

```xml
<key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app uses motion data to track your activity.</string>
```

### Authorization

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/core-motion@sha256:7beae6aba7442383

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260329.893209f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
