How can you ask for multiple permissions? If, for example, I want to ask for Location and notifications permissions, is this good?
const { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(
Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS,
Permissions.LOCATION
);
Hey @jamesattard,
You’ll need to separate them into separate methods so you can determine the status of each.
Cheers,

@jamesattard, Try this functions:
import Expo from 'expo'
export async function askAsyncMultiple(array){
array = array instanceof Array ? array : arguments
const result = []
for(let i in array){
let ask
try {
ask = await Expo.Permissions.askAsync(array[i])
} catch(e) {
ask = {status: 'error', error:e}
}
ask.type = array[i]
result.push(ask)
}
return result
}
Expo.Permissions.askAsyncMultiple = askAsyncMultiple
Use like this
const perms = await Permissions.askAsync(
Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS,
Permissions.LOCATION
);
// perms[0].status
// perms[1].status
Or use like this
const perms = await Permissions.askAsync([
Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS,
Permissions.LOCATION
]);
// perms[0].status
// perms[1].status
So I have followed the suggestions of asking for permissions separately as per the code snippet below, however I am only getting permission for one of the permissions. To be precise, I am only being asked to grant the location permission, while the notifications request is being completely ignored.
registerLocationAndNotifications = async () => {
let status;
status = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
let statusNotifications = status.status;
console.log("Notifications Permissions: ", statusNotifications);
status = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.LOCATION);
let statusLocation = status.status;
console.log("Location Permissions: ", statusLocation);
if (statusNotifications !== "granted") {
console.log("Requesting Notification Permissions");
status = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
statusNotifications = status.status;
}
if (statusLocation !== "granted") {
console.log("Requesting Location Permissions");
status = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.LOCATION);
statusLocation = status.status;
}
if (statusNotifications !== "granted" || statusLocation !== "granted") {
console.log("Permissions not granted");
return;
}
console.log("Permissions Granted!");
I also created a new application and testing on the iOS simulator to make sure I start from ‘scratch’ (or am I really?). I have also repeated this with new applications, and still same issue. Refer to screenshots:
