So what's the code look like, that throws this error?
What version of the library are you?

(in other words - pretend you are troubleshooting this for a colleague, what info would you need?)

How's it work when you use react-native-permissions::PERMISSION.IOS.PHOTO_LIBRARY symbol

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/blob/master/ios/PhotoLibrary/RNPermissionHandlerPhotoLibrary.m#L12

I am using: "react-native-permissions": "^2.0.0"
I am getting error on this line: let permResult = await Permissions.request('photo');
same error on: PERMISSION.IOS.PHOTO_LIBRARY

I have followed all the steps in docs.

thanks

This rolls through the permissions constant type: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/blob/master/example/App.tsx#L87

That is pulled from here https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/blob/master/example/App.tsx#L28 / https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/blob/master/example/App.tsx#L23

which is coming from here https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/blob/master/src/constants.ts#L44

So, something you are doing is wrong - it definitely all works.

I suppose you could try the raw string (but the correct one for the platform - not 'photo') if you wanted - but I'd figure out why your javascript isn't hooking things up?

[mikehardy]

also just running the example confirms it works - I'd also do that as a local proof-of-function before attempting to integrate

[zoontek]

@givik Do you import PERMISSIONS from the module?

[givik]

Sorry. It was my fault. I had PERMISSION.IOS.PHOTO_LIBRARY instead PERMISSIONS.IOS.PHOTO_LIBRARY

Thanks

This is one of those totally understandable mistakes, but also - you will love Typescript :-)
