[Android] 'Don't Allow' permission option always returns denied as permission status and doesn't request the permission again about react-native-permissions HOT 3 CLOSED

To clarify my issue more: When requesting a permission and then choose Don't Allow option, the returned result is 'blocked' but when call check() to get the status it returns denied from what I understand denied status means that it is requestable but it is not

Ah yes, way more clear! This is 100% normal on Android (check the flow)
It's impossible on Android to know if a permission is blocked before requesting it. That's also why check on PermissionsAndroid can only resolves a boolean - but request can resolve a PermissionStatus

@zoontek but this issue also happens with READ_PHONE_STATE permission

from what I understand denied status means that it is requestable but it is not

Also try this steps on the above code to undrstand the conflict more:

1. Make sure in your device settings that the location permission access is Ask every time
2. Open the screen that contains the code, you'll find the status denied
3. Click on Request location permission button, the OS alert will appear then choose Don't Allow and check your terminal for logs you can search with location permission request result in your terminal, you'll find the logged result is denied (which means that it is requestable)
4. Click on Request location permission button again, the OS alert will appear then choose Don't Allow again and check your terminal for logs you'll find the logged result is blocked (which means that it is not requestable)
5. Kill the app and relaunch it again then go to the screen that contains the code, you'll find the status is denied (the output of check() function) which means that it should be requestable
6. Click on Request location permission button again, no OS alert appears and check your terminal for logs you'll find the logged result is blocked (which means that it is not requestable) which is logical but the check() function doesn't reflect this

These steps show that request() and check() return different statuses for the permission and that I can't rely on check() to know the correct status of the permission
