expo: Exception occurred while executing exported method askAsync on module ExpoPermissions: null
🐛 Bug Report
I’m getting this error in production:
Encountered an exception while calling native method: Exception occurred while executing exported method askAsync on module ExpoPermissions: null
Happened 429 times for 89 users over 25 days.
Environment
Android, regular RN project with unimodules

Steps to Reproduce
I cannot reproduce locally. I’m pretty sure it comes from this call:
const { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
Expected Behavior
No error
Actual Behavior
It doesn’t seem to cause a noticeable issue, afaik there is no need to require permissions for notifications on Android. Not sure what the code that ask notif permissions does on Android.

@lukmccall sorry, I don’t saw your comment. Yes, was fixed with https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/8910 Thank you so much for your help, you are great 🥇
Hi @Speedy1991, the bug which you found isn’t connected with this issue. So, I’ve created a separate issue for this (see https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/8909). It concerns problems with the
askAsyncmethod. The issue withgetAsyncwas fixed by https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/8539 and it will be available in theSDK 38.
