Before submitting a new issue

• [X] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

const granted = await request(PERMISSIONS.IOS.PHOTO_LIBRARY); The code never allows granted = 'granted' the only value granted gets is 'unavailable'

I am happy to pay to have this bug fixed.

@ajen010 Could you give me access to a repository?

[ajen010]

I'll have to upload the files to a repo, I'm doing everything on my local. Give me a second.

[tanishaCodebrew]

i also need this solution

[ajen010]

Ok I invited you to the private repo @zoontek zoontek

[ajen010]

The RNPermissions is used in the ImagePicker.js component.

@ajen010 I don't have the issue:

https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-permissions/assets/1902323/11a115f4-41b1-4f85-889b-b370d79cc7f6

Are you sure you didn't forget step 3 of iOS setup?

3. Then execute pod install in your ios directory (📌 Note that it must be re-executed each time you update this config).

[ajen010]

The issue is the simulators don't respond when you do a request. When the code runs on a real mobile device everything works perfectly.

@ajen010 My screen recording is on a simulator.

[KonarkRajMisra]

if you were using an older version of react-native-permissions, you might have reactNativePermissionsIOS in your package.json, can you try removing it, doing pod install again?

[zoontek]

@ajen010 Did you tried again? With the example app / after cleaning your project?

[ajen010]

It works on the devices every time, just not on the simulator. I've moved on and am working on other projects now. Thanks for your help.

@ajen010 Weird, as I (and others) never had an issue with simulators, I even posted a video of it working for your app.

OK, I'm closing this.

So I had the same issue right now with RN 0.73.6 & "react-native-permissions": "^4.1.5"

FIX:

• Remove ios/Pods folder;
• Remove node_modules folder;
• yarn install;
• pod install in ios folder;
• And now it is OK.
