Working with camera, location, or microphone access in React Native? 📲
Then you’ve probably run into permission headaches on iOS and Android.
I just dropped a new video where I cover how to check, request, and manage permissions using react-native-permissions — one of the most reliable libraries for this task.
🎥 What’s inside the video?
- Overview of how mobile permissions work
- Setting up the react-native-permissions library
- Checking and requesting permissions cleanly
- Dealing with blocked permissions using openSettings
- A real-world example: requesting camera access
📦 I’ve also shared the full codebase on GitHub so you can follow along easily.

I love the simplicity of the demo, clean and effective.
Just recently, I was working with the permissions library. Everything was working fine except the
Allow this timeorOnly this timecamera permission.As per Android OS docs, the timeout for one-time permissions is 1 minute. This one-time permission access will expire after 1 minute plus the lifespan of your app in the foreground.
Hey Majahar, it’s great to know that you found it helpful!
It’s not 100% clear to me though, if you couldn’t get it to work at the end or not.
Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.
