The following code shows how to know the capabilities granted to your application Dynamically.

This code will get the current Process id and Checks if the process has a given capability using HasCapability(). When a check fails the action taken is determined by the system wide Platform Security configuration. If PlatSecDiagnostics is ON, then a diagnostic message is emitted. If PlatSecEnforcement is OFF, then this function will return ETrue even though the check failed.

Note: This code snippet does not give any capability information while running on emulator. If you want to grant capabilities on emulator, check with the emulator's platform security preferences.
