I have just run into this issue on Android 5.1.

Previously on SDK 41, the Camera.requestPermissionAsync() resolved the status to “granted”. Now on SDK 42 and latest builds of the Expo Go app, Camera.requestPermissionAsync() always resolves to “denied” despite the fact it has been granted by the app.

I have verified this on both an Expo SDK 42 managed workflow builds of my app, and also even in the Expo Go App. If You open the Expo Go app on Android 5.1 and try to use the camera to scan a QR code, it will pop a dialog saying “Permission needed”, despite the settings app saying the Camera permission has been granted.

I have also checked whether using the now deprecated expo-permissions package resolves the issue, however it does not.
