Similar to tdon's response above, I created a function with a completion block to communicate the status once it is retrieved from the device:

func retrieveAuthorizationStatus(completion: @escaping (TrackingState) -> ()) {
    let status = CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()
    switch status {
    case .authorizedWhenInUse:
        completion(.off)
    default:
        completion(.issue)
    }
}

TrackingState is a separate enum I'm using to manage display within a view controller. You could just as easily pass the authorizationStatus() in the completion block:

func retrieveAuthorizationStatus(completion: @escaping (CLAuthorizationStatus) -> ()) {
    let status = CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()
    completion(status)
}
