Android emulator Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS) returns granted

See original GitHub issue

Environment

expo v26 & v27 Genymotion Android Emulator

Steps to Reproduce

Everything works fine on expo 25, Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS) returns status undetermined on Android emulator and iOS simulator. Problem started after updating expo to v26 and v27. iOS works fine but not Android. On Android emulator notification status is granted and Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync never resolves.

Expected Behavior

Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS) returns status different than granted and Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync is never executed.

Actual Behavior

Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS) returns status granted and Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync is executed and never resolves.

There seems to have been a somewhat undocumented change in the askAsync/getAsync where the Expo Client 27 is now asking you to grant permission again for each individual Expo app (slug). It would be great to have this more documented/called out in this ticket

Locking this thread so we don’t have stale issues or problems with the same symptoms but different root causes in the same thread. As @sjchmiela said, please feel free to open a new thread if you encounter this problem with the latest Expo SDK.
