React Native Permissions
react-native-permissions is a cross-platform permissions library that provides a unified interface for requesting and checking system permissions across iOS, Android, and Windows. It functions as a permission status manager and device capability auditor to determine if access to sensitive data or hardware is granted, denied, or blocked.
The project includes a media access controller to handle limited access to photos and contacts through system-native pickers. It also features a system settings integrator that directs users to device settings pages to manually toggle application and notification permissions.
The library covers a broad range of access control capabilities, including location accuracy verification, notification permission management, and the ability to prompt users for permissions with rationales. On Android, it specifically provides utilities for auditing system capabilities such as exact alarms and full-screen intents.
Features
- Native API Bridges - Ships a unified native bridge that maps a single JavaScript API to platform-specific permission handlers.
- Permission Management - Provides a unified cross-platform interface for requesting and checking system permissions across iOS, Android, and Windows.
- Permission - Translates disparate platform-specific permission responses into a standardized set of shared status constants.
- Device Capability Auditors - Verifies whether specific hardware or software features are available and authorized on a device.
- Mobile Device Feature Access - Handles requesting and verifying access to system hardware like the camera, microphone, and location.
- Device Capability Auditing - Verifies if a device supports specific system features or if the app has required authorizations for specialized intents.
- Cross-Platform Permission Management - Provides a unified API for handling user authorization for device features across iOS, Android, and Windows.
- Cross-Platform Permissions Libraries - Provides a unified interface for requesting and checking system permissions across iOS, Android, and Windows.
- System Permission Status Checks - Determines the current authorization state of system permissions to see if access is granted, denied, or blocked.
- Permission Request Workflows - Manages the lifecycle of permission requests, including prompting users via single or sequential dialogs.
- Runtime Permission Verifications - Implements runtime verification logic to check if specific system permissions have been granted.
- Platform-Specific API Implementations - Provides a unified interface that maps to platform-specific native implementations on iOS, Android, and Windows.
- Settings Redirection - Programmatically directs users to the native device settings page to manually toggle application and notification permissions.
- User-Facing Consent Dialogs - Implements user-facing consent dialogs to request permissions with accompanying rationales.
- Permission Rationale Providers - Provides utilities to prompt users for system permissions with custom rationale alerts to explain the necessity of the access.
- Chainable Request Pipelines - Provides sequential API pipelines for queuing and resolving multiple system permission requests.
- Settings Page Navigators - Invokes system-level intents and deep links to guide users to the application settings page.
- System Settings Navigators - Directs users to the system settings menu for permissions that require manual approval.
- Location Accuracy Verifications - Allows applications to check and request whether the user is sharing their precise location or a coarse approximation.
- Mobile Notification Permissions - Implements tools to check current status and request authorization for mobile push notifications across different operating systems.
- Media Access Permissions - Manages specialized media access permissions for reading and organizing photos and contacts.
- Limited Media Access Management - Provides a mechanism to open system pickers for photos and contacts to refine the specific items the application can access.
- User Preference Settings - Integrates with user preference settings to direct users toward updating notification and application permissions.
