 *Complies with [react-native-version-support-table](https://github.com/dangnelson/react-native-version-support-table)*
 
-### Breaking changes in version 1.0.0
-  - Now using React Native's own JS PermissionsAndroid library on Android, which is great because now we no longer have to do any additional linking (on Android)
-  - Updated API to be closer to RN's PermissionsAndroid
-  - Removed `openSettings()` support on Android (to stay linking-free). There are several NPM modules available for this
-  - `restricted` status now supported on Android, although it means something different than iOS
+## ⚠️ Breaking changes in version 1.0.0
+- Now using React Native's own JS `PermissionsAndroid` module on Android, which is great because we no longer have to do any additional linking on Android
+- Updated API to be closer to React Native's PermissionsAndroid
+- Removed `openSettings()` support on Android (to stay linking-free). There are several NPM modules available for this
+- `restricted` status now supported on Android, although it means something different than iOS
 
-## General Usage
-```
+## Setup
+
+```sh
 npm install --save react-native-permissions
-react-native link
+# --- or ---
+yarn add react-native-permissions
 ```
 
-Add permissions to manifest for android and info.plist for ios (xcode >=8). See notes below for more details.
+*📌  Don't forget to add permissions to `AndroidManifest.xml` for android and `Info.plist` for iOS (Xcode >= 8). See notes below for more details.*
+
+### Additional iOS setup
+
+#### Using cocoaPods
+
+Update the following line with your path to `node_modules/` and add it to your podfile:
+
+```ruby
+pod 'ReactNativePermissions', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-permissions'
+```
+
+#### Using react-native link
+
+```sh
+react-native link react-native-permissions
+```
+
+#### Using manual linking
+
+1. In the XCode's "Project navigator", right click on your project's Libraries folder ➜ `Add Files to <...>`
+2. Go to `node_modules` ➜ `react-native-permissions` ➜ select `ReactNativePermissions.xcodeproj`
+3. Add `libReactNativePermissions.a` to `Build Phases` -> `Link Binary With Libraries`
 
 ```js

 ## API
 
-### Permission statuses
-Promises resolve into one of these statuses
+### Permissions statuses
+
+Promises resolve into one of these statuses:
 
 | Return value | Notes|
 |---|---|
-|`authorized`| user has authorized this permission |
-|`denied`| user has denied this permission at least once. On iOS this means that the user will not be prompted again. Android users can be promted multiple times until they select 'Never ask me again'|
-|`restricted`| **iOS** - this means user is not able to grant this permission, either because it's not supported by the device or because it has been blocked by parental controls. **Android** - this means that the user has selected 'Never ask me again' while denying permission |
-|`undetermined`| user has not yet been prompted with a permission dialog |
+|`authorized`| User has authorized this permission |

 |---|---|---|
 | `check()` | `type` | - Returns a promise with the permission status. See iOS Notes for special cases |
 | `canOpenSettings()` | *none* | - *(iOS only)* Returns a boolean indicating if the device supports switching to the settings page |
 
 ### iOS Notes
-- Permission type `bluetooth` represents the status of the `CBPeripheralManager`. Don't use this if only need `CBCentralManager`
-- Permission type `location` accepts a second parameter for `request()` and `check()`;  the second parameter is a string, either `always` or `whenInUse`(default).
 
-- Permission type `notification` accepts a second parameter for `request()`. The second parameter is an array with the desired alert types. Any combination of `alert`, `badge` and `sound` (default requests all three)

-### Android Notes
-
-Requires RN >= 0.29.0
-
-Uses RN's own `PermissionsAndroid` JS api (http://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.45/docs/permissionsandroid.html)
-
-All required permissions also need to be included in the Manifest before they can be requested. Otherwise `request()` will immediately return `denied`.
-
-Permissions are automatically accepted for targetSdkVersion < 23 but you can still use `check()` to check if the user has disabled them from Settings.
+If you need Contacts permission you have to add the key `Privacy - Contacts Usage Description`.
 
-You can request write access to any of these types by also including the appropriate write permission in the Manifest. Read more here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html#normal-dangerous

-## Setup
-
-````
-npm install --save react-native-permissions
-react-native link

-### iOS
-#### CocoaPods
-Update the following line with your path to `node_modules/` and add it to your podfile
-```ruby
-pod 'ReactNativePermissions', :path => 'your/path/to/node_modules/react-native-permissions'
-```
-#### Or manually linking
-* Run open node_modules/react-native-permissions
-* Drag ReactNativePermissions.xcodeproj into the Libraries group of your app's Xcode project
-* Add libReactNativePermissions.a to `Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries.
-
-### Android
-  No additional linking required

 If you need to submit you application to the AppStore, you need to add to your `Info.plist` all `*UsageDescription` keys with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data. **Even if you don't use them**.
 
-So before submitting your app to the `AppStore`, make sure that in your `Info.plist` you have the following keys:

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-#### Q: iOS - app crashes as soon as I request permission
-A: starting with xcode 8, you need to add permission descriptions. see iOS notes for more details. Thanks to @jesperlndk for discovering this.

-A: This is normal. iOS restarts your app when your privacy settings change. Just google "ios crash permission change"
