Permissions weren't granted on Android

I’m testing an app which is using react-native-image-picker on my Android devices. It’s working on iOs, not on Android.

Here’s what I’ve done:

export function getImageFromLibrary () {

  let options = {
    quality: 1.0,
    maxWidth: 500,
    maxHeight: 500,
    storageOptions: {
      skipBackup: true
    }
  };

  return dispatch => {

    dispatch(requestImageFromLibrary())

    return ImagePicker.showImagePicker(options, (response) => {

      let responseObj = {};

      if (response.didCancel || response.error) {
          responseObj = {
            success: false,
            errorMessage: response.error,
            uri: response.uri
          };
          dispatch(receiveImageFromLibraryErr(responseObj));
      }

      else {

        responseObj = {
          success: true,
          uri: response.uri
        };
        dispatch(receiveImageFromLibrary(responseObj));
        // let source = { uri: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + response.data };


      }

    });
  }

}

<TouchableOpacity onPress={this.props.getImageFromLibrary}>
            <Text>Choose picture</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>

Here’s what happen:

• I can tap the Choose picture
• it opens the “Select a photo” menu
• whether I tap Take photo or Choose from library, it logs an error “Permissions not granted”

I uninstalled the app / reinstalled it, checked my application permissions in Android settings, but it never ask me for more permissions.

What do I miss? Should I use another module, like https://github.com/yonahforst/react-native-permissions?

Any lucky on this?

Checkout your AndroidManifest.xml and see if it has these lines of code:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

This library already handle Android permissions, you don’t need any other permission library for use it.

I added

<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

and it works for me
