                permissionsController.providePermission(Permission.GALLERY)

            } catch(deniedAlways: DeniedAlwaysException) {
                // Permission is always denied.
            } catch(denied: DeniedException) {

            }
        }
    }
}

Android:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        
    val viewModel = getViewModel {
        // Pass the platform implementation of the permission controller to a common code.
        ViewModel(PermissionsController())
    }
    
    // Binds the permissions controller to the activity lifecycle.
    viewModel.permissionsController.bind(lifecycle, supportFragmentManager)
}

iOS:

// Just pass the platform implementation of the permission controller to a common code.
let viewModel = ViewModel(permissionsController: PermissionsController())

Contributing

All development (both new features and bug fixes) is performed in develop branch. This way master sources always contain sources of the most recently released version. Please send PRs with bug fixes to develop branch. Fixes to documentation in markdown files are an exception to this rule. They are updated directly in master.

The develop branch is pushed to master during release.
