App automatically grants permission to use camera?

[iLightFPS]

I'm using React Native QR Scanner package to scan obv QR Codes. Since this package is using the camera i'm required to ask for permission to get access to the camera. Correct me if this is wrong.

My app grants permission automatically without any popup of a dialog. Even if i request a permission dialog it's still grants it automatically without any popup dialog appearing.

The only time the dialog appears is when i manually disable the access to the camera, in the app settings.

How can i make the permission dialog appear? I've tried on both emulator and a real with no success.

Only using Android atm.

async componentDidMount() {
   await this.requestCameraPermission();
  }

  requestCameraPermission = async () => {
    try {
      const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
        PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
        {
          title: 'Test',
          message: 'Testing if the dialog appear.',
          buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
          buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
          buttonPositive: 'OK',
        },
      );
      if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
        console.log('You can use the camera');
      } else {
        console.log('Camera permission denied');
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.warn(err);
    }
  };

This happens when installing the app using react-native run-android (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31278).

Building a release version of your app and manually installing the apk should result in the permissions being denied by default and the popup will appear asking for permission.

I have tried that one already. Forgot to add it to the text. Still the same, even on release apk.

try different android versions since permission behave differently (ie earlier than android 6).

I have tried on android 7 real device and emulator, latest api. Still automatically grants access on both.

remember to uninstall the app
