☝🏼 React Native Permissions

Check and request user permissions in React Native

Support

version	react-native version
2.0.0+	0.60.0+
1.1.1	0.40.0 - 0.52.2

For 2.0.0 with 0.59-, you can use jetify -r

Setup

$ npm install --save react-native-permissions@next
# --- or ---
$ yarn add react-native-permissions@next

iOS

By default no permission handler is installed. Update your Podfile by choosing the ones you want then run pod install.

target 'YourAwesomeProject' do

  # …

  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'

  pod 'Permission-BluetoothPeripheral', :path => "#{permissions_path}/BluetoothPeripheral.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Calendars', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Calendars.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Contacts', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Contacts.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-FaceID', :path => "#{permissions_path}/FaceID.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-MediaLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/MediaLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Microphone', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Microphone.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Motion', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Motion.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Notifications', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Notifications.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Reminders', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Reminders.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Siri', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Siri.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-SpeechRecognition', :path => "#{permissions_path}/SpeechRecognition.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-StoreKit', :path => "#{permissions_path}/StoreKit.podspec"

end

Then update your Info.plist with wanted permissions usage descriptions.

  <!-- … -->

Android

Add all wanted permissions to your app android/app/src/main/res/AndroidManifest.xml.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.myawesomeapp">

🆘 Manual linking

Because this package targets React Native 0.60+, you will probably don’t need to link it. Otherwise if you follow all the previous steps and it still doesn’t work, try to link this library manually.

👀 See manual linking instructions

iOS

Add this line to your ios/Podfile file, then run pod install.

target 'YourAwesomeProject' do
  # …
  pod 'RNPermissions', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-permissions'
end

Android

Add the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-permissions'
project(':react-native-permissions').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/android')

Add the implementation line to the dependencies in android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
  // ...
  implementation project(':react-native-permissions')
}

Add the import and link the package in MainApplication.java:

import com.reactnativecommunity.rnpermissions.RNPermissionsPackage; // <- add the RNPermissionsPackage import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  // …

  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
    // …
    packages.add(new RNPermissionsPackage());
    return packages;
  }

  // …
}

API

Permissions statuses

Promises resolve into one of these statuses:

Return value	Notes
`RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE`	This feature is not available (on this device / in this context)
`RESULTS.DENIED`	The permission has not been requested / is denied but requestable
`RESULTS.GRANTED`	The permission is granted
`RESULTS.BLOCKED`	The permission is denied and not requestable anymore

Methods

types used in usage examples

type PermissionStatus = 'unavailable' | 'denied' | 'blocked' | 'granted';

check

Check one permission status.

function check(permission: string): Promise<PermissionStatus>;

import {check, PERMISSIONS, RESULTS} from 'react-native-permissions';

check(PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_ALWAYS)
  .then(result => {
    switch (result) {
      case RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE:
        console.log('the feature is not available');
        break;
      case RESULTS.GRANTED:
        console.log('permission is granted');
        break;
      case RESULTS.DENIED:
        console.log('permission is denied and / or requestable');
        break;
      case RESULTS.BLOCKED:
        console.log('permission is denied and not requestable');
        break;
    }
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // …
  });

request

Request one permission.

type Rationale = {
  title: string;
  message: string;
  buttonPositive?: string;
  buttonNegative?: string;
  buttonNeutral?: string;
};

function request(
  permission: string,
  rationale?: Rationale,
): Promise<PermissionStatus>;

import {request, PERMISSIONS} from 'react-native-permissions';

request(PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_ALWAYS).then(result => {
  // …
});

checkNotifications

Check notifications permission status and get settings values.

interface NotificationSettings {
  // properties only availables on iOS
  // unavailable settings will not be included in the response object
  alert?: boolean;
  badge?: boolean;
  sound?: boolean;
  lockScreen?: boolean;
  carPlay?: boolean;
  notificationCenter?: boolean;
  criticalAlert?: boolean;
}

function checkNotifications(): Promise<{
  status: PermissionStatus;
  settings: NotificationSettings;
}>;

import {checkNotifications} from 'react-native-permissions';

checkNotifications().then(({status, settings}) => {
  // …
});

requestNotifications

Request notifications permission status and get settings values.

// only used on iOS
type NotificationOption =
  | 'alert'
  | 'badge'
  | 'sound'
  | 'criticalAlert'
  | 'carPlay'
  | 'provisional';

interface NotificationSettings {
  // properties only availables on iOS
  // unavailable settings will not be included in the response object
  alert?: boolean;
  badge?: boolean;
  sound?: boolean;
  lockScreen?: boolean;
  carPlay?: boolean;
  notificationCenter?: boolean;
  criticalAlert?: boolean;
}

function requestNotifications(
  options: NotificationOption[],
): Promise<{
  status: PermissionStatus;
  settings: NotificationSettings;
}>;

import {requestNotifications} from 'react-native-permissions';

requestNotifications(['alert', 'sound']).then(({status, settings}) => {
  // …
});

openSettings

Open application settings.

function openSettings(): Promise<void>;

import {openSettings} from 'react-native-permissions';

openSettings().catch(() => console.warn('cannot open settings'));

Understanding lifecycle

As permissions are not handled in the same way on iOS and Android, this library provides an abstraction over the two platforms behaviors. To understand it a little better, have a look to these two flowcharts:
