React-native-permissions: Invalid RNPermission 'ios.permission.LOCATION_ALWAYS' should be one of

[vvscode]

Question

In my code I have

import { request, PERMISSIONS } from 'react-native-permissions';
// ...
const backgroundLocationPermission = Platform.select({
  ios: PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_ALWAYS,
  android: PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION,
});
// ...
request(backgroundLocationPermission)

it gives me

Why? How to fix?

@vvscode Please submit your Podfile.

@zoontek sure

Podfile.txt

 permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
  pod 'RNPermissions', :path => "../node_modules/react-native-permissions/RNPermissions.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse.podspec"

As I though, you linked the wrong permission handler. If you ask for PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_ALWAYS, you need to link pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways.podspec"

Then run pod install, clean your Xcode build, re-build: everything should be fine 😄
