iOS: After reinstall, requestPermission does not prompt user to allow settings

See original GitHub issue

After uninstalling and rerunning my application, a call to requestPermission does not prompt the user to allow notifications.

Other info:

Upon uninstall, my app disappears from the Settings -> Notifications list. Upon reinstall, my app has some permissions but not for Notifications. (So this isn’t a case of the permission being blocked; the authorizationStatus is -1, not DENIED. All other values are also -1 except inAppNotificationSettings which is 0)
The requestNotifications from react-native-permissions does prompt to allow them after a reinstall.

PS: I am so glad that react-native-permissions works, so that I can use Notifee: I appreciate your documentation and your API approach in general, in comparison to react-native-notifications… and this allows me to post something while the app is in the foreground. 😃 Thanks for this library!

OK, I ran on an iPhone 8 Software Version 14.6 and it didn’t prompt me for the permission.

At some point I’ll install via TestFlight & the AppStore and we’ll see what happens there.

I have been testing again and I see the expected behavior. I’ll close this ticket until I see it again and can give more detail.
