Permissions.AskAsync(CAMERA_ROLL) is granted yet missing camera roll permission is returned

Expo SDK
49

Update: I managed to succesfully upgrade to SDK 27.0.1, and the issue persists. Again, I’ve removed node_modules, restartet watchman, yarn-installed, restarted XDE and packager, re-installed Expo on simulator.

The exact onPress that is invoked looks like this:

onAddImagePressed = async () => {
    const { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);
    if (status === 'granted') {
      const result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
        allowsEditing: true,
        aspect: [4, 4],
        quality: 1,
        // @ts-ignore
        base64: true,
        mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.Images,
      });
      if (!result.cancelled) {
        this.props.onImageSelected(result);
      } else {
        console.log(TAG, `image selection cancelled\n`);
      }
    } else {
      // show info to user
    }
  };

Pretty standard setup. Any help would be very much appreciated.

EDIT: I see my error now. Previously, asking for Permissions.CAMERA would also ask for permission to the camera roll, but this must have changed since SDK 24. It works if I use Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL instead.
