Here’s my repo:

I’m using a detached/ejected Expo app on the lastest versions. Latest verion of Yarn. Latest Android Studio. I followed @3DEsprit’s quick intro article and have spent many hours getting this to work on Android SDK 27 and Expo. I hope the issue is just something small and silly that someone might spot right away.

Hi @mikeumus, a few thoughts. First, its not necessary to check authorization before requesting permission; authorizeEventStore will do this already. Also, catching the error from the request.

componentWillMount() {
  RNCalendarEvents.authorizeEventStore()
    .then((out) => {
      if (out === 'authorized') {
        this.setState({ cal_auth: out })
      }
     })
     .catch(error => console.warn('Auth Error: ', error));
  }

You will also need this line when requesting permissions.

Maybe, I have not used Expo so unfortunately I’m not sure how to integrate external packages with it. But it does appear that they have a Permissions object - Expo docs - that handles basically does the same as authorizeEventStore.
