react-native-permissions

⚠️  Disclaimer

This new release is a complete rewrite to tackle two massives issues: splitting iOS permission request handlers to avoid embedding unnecessary ones and a negative app store review and handling permissions non handled by React Native PermissionsAndroid API. But it contains much, much more and tries to resolve issues pending for nearly two years of inactivity on this repository.
