Why does ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync() work without requestPermission?

Expo SDK

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: expo 46.0.0, expo-image-picker 13.3.1
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): all
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

I can use ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync() to get pictures from my photo album without using requestPermission from ImagePicker.useMediaLibraryPermissions.

Even if I make status “denied” using requestPermission, I can still access the photo album.

Is there no problem with this? Can I use ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync() without requestPermission?

Additionally, If ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync() does not use the requestPermission from useCameraPermissions or the status is not “granted”, an error occurs.

Why doesn’t anyone answer?
