react-native: PermissionsAndroid request returns "never_ask_again" on popup dismiss
Description
On Android 11, dismissing the request permission popup by tapping outside of it or by pressing the hardware back button will result on a never_ask_again
answer even if the permission is still requestable (it actually should be equal to denied
then).
On this version, the “Never ask again” checkbox disappear. The user have to press “Deny” twice to achieve the same effect. See https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/permissions#dialog-visibility.
PS: Dismissing the popup isn’t the same as pressing the “Deny” button, since requesting the permission is possible after multiple (2+) popup dimiss.
I made a GIF to illustrate the issue:

I am not even getting popup can anyone know why??
Faced the same issue, found this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73630987
I am also facing this, I think it is specific to devices. In my case even the request permission pop is also not showing. I am facing this issue on android above 11.
Same problem here. I am asking multiple permissions,
CAMERA
permission pop-up is opening and working fine, but forWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
andREAD_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permissions pop-up is not even opening and returningnever_ask_again
. I think the issue is specific to devices because on majority of devices functionality is working, but on emulator and some devices, application is not functional due to this issue.
