How to know if iOS user declined permission or not on react-native?

Question

I have an app that requires camera access. On android side I am asking for permission but on iOS side you don't have to request permission because Apple do it for you (from plist). But in that case I don't know if iOS user accepted or rejected the permission request. How can I know user is accepted request or not on iOS device.

If user will decline the permission I will navigate to other screen and if accepted camera will open.

I didn't find any answer on stackoverflow or react-native documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could use permissions library to ask for permission, and store whether you already asked it in the device local AsyncStorage.

I am not sure it is possible to tell whether they've rejected some permissions from the OS.

An unified permissions API for React Native on iOS and Android.
