Console.error: no permission handler detected.(React Native)

Question

I am coding a simple react native app and am getting a console error when I run the app. It says that there is no permission handler detected and tells me to go through some steps. But I do not know how to do these steps, and if they don't work, I don't know how to solve the problem.

Here is the error:

Here is the podfile:

Please help. Thanks.

Solution 1

You just have to install RN Permissions and make changes to the podfile and info.plist. Depending on what you need the permissions for, you get the pods. If you're not sure, do them all. You can find the code at https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-permissions. There are also some other things you may have to do-those I didn't talk about but are in the npm documentation in the link.

Thanks to @Raghav Herugu for helping me solve the problem

Solution 2

Added these in podFile

  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways/Permission-LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse/Permission-LocationWhenInUse.podspec"

Then run pod install For me this worked.

At the moment, your Podfile is not configured to handle permissions. In your Podfile under your target, add the relevant lines of code for the permissions you are requesting:

target 'LocalMainStreet' do

  # react-native-permissions permission handlers
  permissions_path = '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/ios'

  pod 'Permission-AppTrackingTransparency', :path => "#{permissions_path}/AppTrackingTransparency.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-BluetoothPeripheral', :path => "#{permissions_path}/BluetoothPeripheral.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Calendars', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Calendars.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Contacts', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Contacts.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-FaceID', :path => "#{permissions_path}/FaceID.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-MediaLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/MediaLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Microphone', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Microphone.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Motion', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Motion.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Notifications', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Notifications.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Reminders', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Reminders.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Siri', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Siri.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-SpeechRecognition', :path => "#{permissions_path}/SpeechRecognition.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-StoreKit', :path => "#{permissions_path}/StoreKit.podspec"

end

You can read more about it in the react-native-permissions repo.

The path changed. Now its ok. See below:

# permissions 
  pod 'Permission-BluetoothPeripheral', :path => "#{permissions_path}/BluetoothPeripheral/Permission-BluetoothPeripheral.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Calendars', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Calendars/Permission-Calendars.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Camera', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Camera/Permission-Camera.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Contacts', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Contacts/Permission-Contacts.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-FaceID', :path => "#{permissions_path}/FaceID/Permission-FaceID.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationAlways', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationAlways/Permission-LocationAlways.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-LocationWhenInUse', :path => "#{permissions_path}/LocationWhenInUse/Permission-LocationWhenInUse.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-MediaLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/MediaLibrary/Permission-MediaLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Microphone', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Microphone/Permission-Microphone.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Motion', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Motion/Permission-Motion.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Notifications', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Notifications/Permission-Notifications.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-PhotoLibrary', :path => "#{permissions_path}/PhotoLibrary/Permission-PhotoLibrary.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Reminders', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Reminders/Permission-Reminders.podspec"
  pod 'Permission-Siri', :path => "#{permissions_path}/Siri/Permission-Siri.podspec"

Solution 5

They have mentioned about this issue in the documentation and also suggested a fix for the same and it works. Clearing the Xcode cache worked for me :)

Solution:

If you see a No permission handler detected error: Make sure that you have at least one permission handler set up. In some cases the Xcode cache needs to be cleared (Xcode -> Product -> Clean Build Folder)

I have faced the same problem in my project. I have missed doing pod install after updating the pod file with permissions.

Did you change something for it to be "ok"? Perhaps explain what I'm looking at below?
