PushNotification.requestPermissions needs documentation

PushNotification.requestPermissions is missing documentation. Investigating the code suggests that this method returns a promise but the promise never seems to resolve or reject. Would someone with knowledge around this be willing to add documentation for this?

Sure, I’m more than happy to share my implementation below @philwilks . Notice how Android doesn’t require you to request permissions.

      new Promise(resolve => {
        if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
          PushNotification.checkPermissions(({ alert, badge, sound }) => {
            if (!alert || !badge || !sound) {
              PushNotification.requestPermissions();
            }
            resolve();
          });
        } else {
          resolve();
        }
      }).then(() => {
        PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications();
        PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule(yourNotificationObject);
      });

@a-koka This sadly does not work. the Promise does not wait for requestPermissions(), which itself is a buggy Promise that needs fixing from the react-native core.
