Expo Build Android Permissions Denied (SOLVED)

Expo SDK
1

exp build:android does not prompt for camera/camera_roll permissions. The process works 100% in the Expo app for android, however the permissions do not prompt for user approval on android using exp build:android.

Is there a solution to this?

exp -V: 56.0.0

This is a major issue when deploying to the Google play store, if the app doesn’t actually have full functionality.

Any help with this is appreciated!
