react-native: Android 13 permission issue

I am facing the same issue.

let deviceVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion(); let granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED; if(deviceVersion >= 13){ granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED; }else{ granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request( PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ); }

fixes the issue for me. as Android version 13 no permission is needed.

@Ghoral , turns out that if you targed sdk 33 you dont need to ask permission. Here is code in AndroidManifest.xml: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="29" />

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Hello, does this apply to all android versions or for lower android versions i still need to ask for permission ?

I was able to fix mine, you should do it this way, i am still testing across different tester devices.

// folder write permit/request example
const folderWritePermit = async () => {
  let deviceVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion();
  if (deviceVersion >= 13) return true;
  return await permitingsCheck(PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
};
const folderWritePermitReq = async () => {
  let deviceVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion();
  if (deviceVersion >= 13) return true;
  return await permitingsReq(PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
};

const permitingsCheck = data => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    check(data)
      .then(result => {
        switch (result) {
          case RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.DENIED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.LIMITED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.GRANTED:
            resolve(true);
            break;
          case RESULTS.BLOCKED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        resolve(false);
      });
  });
};

const permitingsReq = data => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    request(data)
      .then(result => {
        switch (result) {
          case RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.DENIED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.LIMITED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
          case RESULTS.GRANTED:
            resolve(true);
            break;
          case RESULTS.BLOCKED:
            resolve(false);
            break;
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        resolve(false);
      });
  });
};

Kind of

import { Platform } from 'react-native';
...
if (
  Platform.OS === 'android' &&
  Platform.constants['Release'] >= 13 &&
  recordAudioPermissionGranted
) {
  // start recording
} else {
  // probably handle read/write storage permissions as well
}

Maybe target sdk 33 is needed as well

You dont need to add permission specifically.

If it is for notification you need to have targetSdkVersion = 33 (at least) and change your code.

` import messaging from ‘@react-native-firebase/messaging’; await messaging().requestPermission();

if (PlatformUtility.isAndroid) {
  PermissionUtility.requestPermission(
    'android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS',
  );
}`

for other permissions follow documentation.

let deviceVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion(); let granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED; if (deviceVersion >= 13) { granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED; }

is this one correct?

@A-Vijay - How can use below code for document picker(react-native-document-picker) in Android 13. let deviceVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion(); let granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED; if(deviceVersion >= 13){ granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED; }else{ granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request( PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ); }

yes In android 13 no permission is needed
