ios - ATTrackingManager Returns .denied on first install with "Allow Apps to Request to Track" on

Question

On some devices trackingAuthorizationStatus always comes back .denied, even though the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" switch is on. This means that the app can never request permission to track. In Settings > Privacy > Tracking the app does not have a switch to turn permission back on. Our team has several test devices, and two iPhones of the same model with the same version of iOS produce different results. One is able to display the requestTrackingAuthorization prompt and behaves as expected, while two others remain in the ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied state no matter what. We've tried General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy as well as deleting the app, reinstalling, restarting, upgrading OS. Nothing fixes the .denied state. Here's the code:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let status = ATTrackingManager.trackingAuthorizationStatus
    switch status {
    case .authorized:
        idfaLabel.text = "Yay"
    case .denied:
        idfaLabel.text = "Goodbye IDFA"
    case .notDetermined:
        idfaLabel.text = "You've got a choice to make"
    case .restricted:
        idfaLabel.text = "can't help you there"
    default:
        print("New case???")
    }
    ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization(completionHandler: {_ in
        print("Tracking Requested")
    })
}

Thanks in advance for any clues.
