Description

Asking permission for geolocation for Android resolves to “never_ask_again” even before prompting the request permission dialog when asking for geolocation service permissions.

Reproducible Demo

import {PermissionsAndroid} from "react-native"; const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION); alert (granted);

If you run this code, in an app, You’ll see the alert with the text “never_ask_again” before prompting the user for permission.
