Actual Description

I have a react native app. Which is working fine in both ios & android but if change any permissions(Camera, Storage) through settings option then app get restarted.

For Example, If I am on the home-screen and I had changed the permission then the app will get restarted and takes me to the login screen.

Are there any options to maintain current app state(both ios and android)?

Someone please reopen this, it is still an issue and it is blocking for many of us. Also would be nice to add the iOS label as well, not sure how to do that though.
