Not able to get permission popup. It won’t as for permission.

  componentDidMount = () => {
    Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
      (info) => {
        let lat = info.coords.latitude;
        let lng = info.coords.longitude;
        this.getLocation(lat, lng);
      },
      (err) => {
        console.log('location err=>', err);
        alert('Location error');
      },
    );
  };

@Agontuk I am using the following function to request permission and later calling it inside useEffect() before Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(). Getting no error and no location. Am I doing anything wrong? Can you share any working example?

  async function requestPermissions() {
    if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
      Geolocation.requestAuthorization();
      Geolocation.setRNConfiguration({
        skipPermissionRequests: false,
        authorizationLevel: 'whenInUse',
      });
    }
    if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
      await PermissionsAndroid.request(
        PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
      );
    }
  }

useEffect(() => {
    requestPermissions();
    Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
      position => { console.log("POS" + position); // not logging anything 
         setlatitude(position.coords.latitude);
         setlongitude(position.coords.longitude); },
      error => { Alert.alert(error.message.toString()); }, // no error displayed
      { showLocationDialog: true, enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 15000, maximumAge: 10000 }
    );
  });

Also modified build.gradle & AndroidManifest.xml just like you mentioned in the docs.

Why are you using useEffect for this ? useEffect will be called every time after render, so not a good place to use this (unless using it only once). Also setRNConfiguration is deprecated in recent versions and requestAuthorization method needs an argument. Please check the documentation.
