<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) needs access to your Camera.</string>

Android

Open your project's AndroidManifest.xml and add the following lines inside the <manifest> tag:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Usage

Use React Hook useCameraPermission()

import { useCameraPermission } from '@brainylab/react-native-permissions';

const { status, requestPermission } = useCameraPermission();

console.log(status) // return -> 'authorized' | 'not-determined' | 'denied' | 'restricted'

or getCameraPermissionStatus() and await requestCameraPermission()

const status = getCameraPermissionStatus() // return -> 'authorized' | 'not-determined' | 'denied' | 'restricted'

const status = await requestCameraPermission() // return -> 'authorized' | 'denied'
