Thanks for this post. I hadn’t noticed it when I opened this thread about the same topic.
As mentioned there, I use import { SMS } from ‘expo’; to offer my app user the ability to send an SMS using the native android SMS functionality. I do not access or read existing SMSs.
I have tried changing the permission from:
"permissions": ["READ_SMS"]
To:
"permissions": ["SEND_SMS"]
But this breaks the functionality altogether since it doesn’t prompt the user to allow SMS permissions.
It is not clear to me in your post if SDK 32 will allow me to add a permission which is strictly to Send SMS. If not, is there an alternative?
This is actually one of the core features of my app which is why I am pretty interested in this topic. Google refused my request to allow READ_SMS, stating: “The declared feature {Default SMS is allowed; however we determined it to be unnecessary for the core functionality of your app.”
Thanks again.
