Permission status never updates, requires app restart

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 35
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

On press of a button, I am calling a function that gets the user’s location, but checks their permission before doing so.

// inside button press function

  const { status } = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.LOCATION);

    if (status != "granted") {
      Alert.alert(
        "Permissions",
        "You need to enable location permissions for the application first. To do this, go to Settings on the device, find the application and enable Location permissions.",
        [
          {
            text: "Ok"
          }
        ],
        {
          cancelable: false
        }
      );

      return;
    }

If I disable permissions, start the app and press the button, I see the alert as expected. However, if I minimize the app, open Settings and enable Location permissions, return to the app and press the button again, it still returns that permissions are denied. In fact, I seem to have to fully close and restart the app for the new permission status to be returned correctly. Am I going about this wrong?

Hey @cshanno, is this occurring in the Expo client or the standalone version of your app?

Cheers,
