Permissions.askAsync is not a function on iOS & Android Simulator

[ansari-tech]

Hey all.

Trying to get location information for a simple screen on my app.

I am currently on SDK version 32, and running the iOS simulator on the latest version of iOS (iPhone XR). I have also tried this on my Galaxy S9 (Physical) running the Expo client app, with the same result.

When attempting to use expo-permissions, I get the following warning:

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0): TypeError: Permissions.askAsync is not a function. (In ‘Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.LOCATION)’, 'Permissions.askAsync is undefined)

Here is the relevant code:

import React from "react";
import { Platform, View, Button, Text } from "react-native";
import NavigationService from "../NavigationService";
import Constants from "expo-constants";
import * as Location from "expo-location";
import * as Permissions from "expo-permissions";

export default class SalatTimes extends React.Component {
...
  _getLocationAsync = async () => {
    console.log(Permissions);
    let { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.LOCATION);
    if (status !== "granted") {
      this.setState({
        errorMessage: "Permission to access location was denied"
      });
    }

    let location = await Location.getCurrentPositionAsync({});
    this.setState({ location });
  };
  componentDidMount() {
    this._getLocationAsync();
    ...
  }

This code is pulled exactly from the Expo docks. Anyone have anywhere for me to look to figure out why this is happening?

Edit:
copied and pasted my exact code into a snack and it works fine. https://snack.expo.io/rJ0EuSAMb

So something is wrong with my development environment but I am not sure where to start.

Can you run expo install expo-permissions and see if that works?
