Steps to reproduce

Taken from Crashlytics, so not clear reproduction steps.

Reproducible sample code

Config:

def node_require(script)
  # Resolve script with node to allow for hoisting
  require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
    "require.resolve(
      '#{script}',
      {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
    )", __dir__]).strip
end

node_require('react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb')
node_require('react-native-permissions/scripts/setup.rb')

platform :ios, '13.4'
prepare_react_native_project!

setup_permissions([
  # 'AppTrackingTransparency',
  #'Bluetooth',
  # 'Calendars',
  # 'CalendarsWriteOnly',
  'Camera',
  # 'Contacts',
  # 'FaceID',
  'LocationAccuracy',
  'LocationAlways',

  # 'Motion',
  #'Notifications',
  'PhotoLibrary',
  # 'PhotoLibraryAddOnly',
  # 'Reminders',
  # 'Siri',
  # 'SpeechRecognition',
  # 'StoreKit',
])

Ask for permissions using this code:

import {request, requestMultiple, PERMISSIONS} from 'react-native-permissions'
import {Platform} from 'react-native'

function isPermissionGranted(permission) {
  if (permission && typeof permission === 'object') {
    return Object.values(permission).every(
      (val) => val === 'granted' || val === 'unavailable',
    )
  }

  return permission === 'granted' || permission === 'unavailable'
}

function getCameraPermissions() {
  return Platform.OS === 'ios'
    ? PERMISSIONS.IOS.CAMERA
    : PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.CAMERA
}

function getLocationPermisison(useBackgroundLocationApproved) {
  if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
    return [PERMISSIONS.IOS.LOCATION_ALWAYS]
  } else {
    const permissions = [
      PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
      PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
    ]

    // For android we show a warning about using background location which the user needs to approve according to
    // the play store guidelines
    if (useBackgroundLocationApproved) {
      permissions.push(PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION)
    }

    return permissions
  }
}

function getMicrophonePermission() {
  return Platform.OS === 'ios'
    ? PERMISSIONS.IOS.MICROPHONE
    : PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.RECORD_AUDIO
}

export const checkPermissions = async (
  useBackgroundLocationApproved = true,
  recordCalls = false,
) => {
  // Android 11 and up doesn't allow background location
  if (parseInt(Platform.constants.Release) >= 11) {
    useBackgroundLocationApproved = false
  }

  const location = await requestMultiple(
    getLocationPermisison(useBackgroundLocationApproved),
  )

  const camera = await request(getCameraPermissions())

  let voice = null

  if (recordCalls) {
    voice = await request(getMicrophonePermission())
  }

  return {
    location: isPermissionGranted(location),
    camera: isPermissionGranted(camera),
    voice: isPermissionGranted(voice),
  }
}

export default checkPermissions

I have the same issue but it is due to the LocationAlways and LocationAlwaysWhenInUse don't have the podspec file inside it.

The last version that has the podspec are 3.10.1 and I was able to run pod install. Apple is kicking my app back to me due to deprecated code using the CLLocationManager authorizationStatus. I believe now authorizationStatus is part of the CLLocationManager now. So should add something similar to the following

let manager = CLLocationManager()

manager.authorizationStatus

Not entirely sure yet if that is the fix but that is what I am currently seeing from the crash report that Apple sent to me.
