ReactNative : permission always return 'never ask again'

am using following code base to request the permission but it always return 'never ask again'

 async requestPermission(request){
        try{
           const response= await PermissionsAndroid.request('PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA',{
            'title': 'Cool Photo App Camera Permission',
            'message': 'Cool Photo App needs access to your camera ' +
                       'so you can take awesome pictures.'
          })
           console.log(response)
        }catch(err){

        }
        this.getcurrentLocation()

My suggestion to handle such situations is to open settings and direct the users directly to adapt the right, see below example:

import { Linking } from 'react-native';
import { Alert } from 'react-native';

const openSettings = () => {
  Linking.openSettings();
};

const askForPermission = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
      {
        title: 'Storage Permission',
        message: 'App needs access to your storage to read files',
        buttonPositive: 'OK',
        buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
      },
    );
    if (result === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log('Storage Permission Granted.');
    } else if (result === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED) {
      console.log('Storage Permission Denied.');
    } else if (result === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.NEVER_ASK_AGAIN) {
      console.log('Storage Permission Denied with Never Ask Again.');
      Alert.alert(
        'Storage Permission Required',
        'App needs access to your storage to read files. Please go to app settings and grant permission.',
        [
          { text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel' },
          { text: 'Open Settings', onPress: openSettings },
        ],
      );
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

I recently faced this issue about LOCATION service permission. I forgot to add android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in AndroidManifest.xml.

So, I think you also forgot to add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
in your AndroidManifest.xml

Removing tools:node="remove" from AndroidManifest.xml fixed mine. Replace <uses-permission tools:node="remove" android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/> with <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

I did clean and rebuild several times and finally started working, somehow the build cache is not properly updating.
