Understanding permission flow As permissions are not handled in the same way on iOS and Android, this library provides an abstraction over the two platforms' behaviors. (Check details here).  Update Pod files for installing permission handler. By default no permission handler is installed. Update your Podfile by choosing the ones you want to check or request, then run pod install.

Example

    target 'YourAwesomeProject' do
    
      # …
    
      permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
    
      pod 'Permission-AppTrackingTransparency', :path => "#{permissions_path}/AppTrackingTransparency"
      pod 'Permission-BluetoothPeripheral', :path => "#{permissions_path}/BluetoothPeripheral"
      pod 'Permission-Calendars', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Calendars"
      pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera"
      pod 'Permission-Contacts', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Contacts"
    
    end

Then update your Info.plist with wanted permissions usage descriptions:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
        "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
        <plist version="1.0">
        <dict>
        
          <!--
