Import

API Overview

`requestAgeRange`

Request the user’s age range.

On Android: queries Google Play Age Signals API (no user prompt). On iOS: presents the system DeclaredAgeRange dialog (requires iOS 26.2+).

import { AgeRange } from '@capgo/capacitor-age-range';

const result = await AgeRange.requestAgeRange({ ageGates: [13, 16, 18] });
if (result.status === 'SHARING') {
  console.log('Age range:', result.ageLower, '-', result.ageUpper);
}

Type Reference

`RequestAgeRangeOptions`

Options for the age range request.

export interface RequestAgeRangeOptions {

   *
   * On Android: this parameter is ignored (Play Age Signals returns
   * predefined ranges: 0-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+).
   *
   * @default [13, 16, 18]
   * @since 8.0.0
