Location based compass orientation is incorrect. It always says North is direction when starting up. #590

It looks to me like iOS no longer supports the compass deviceorientationabsolute event. It only supports the deviceorientation event and that seems to reset with the context in some way. In the basic example when you tap on a cube when it returns the device orientation resets with alpha = 0 regardless of the direction facing. |

It appears that this is know. There was a MR that was not merged that seems to help but enabling the webkitcompassheading. #466 |

Bug. There are similar issue but all marked as closed, incorrectly.
What is the current behavior?
Currently on iOS (Safari and Chrome tested) the simple location examples will always point the north cube in the direction the phone is facing after any interaction or started.
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Load the basic example
https://github.com/AR-js-org/AR.js/blob/master/aframe/examples/new-location-based/basic-js/index.html
On iOS at startup there will always be several permissions popups. After hitting them all you will see the Red cube (North) in the direction of whatever you started. If you tap the cube or any cube, you will get a popup and then the orientation will reset so that direction is North and the Red Cube is there.
It is always happening with the included example. I put a copy on website at www.pasotours.com/location2
Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Operating System and Device Name
iOS (Chrome and Safari) it works correctly on android.
What is the expected behavior?
If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?
