permission to READ_CALL_LOG is not working in react-native expo

Question

why can't get the permission to READ_CALL_LOG in react-native expo with this code? is possible to access call log in expo?

const CallLogFunc = async () => {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_CALL_LOG,
      {
        title: " Permission neeeded",
        message: "Allow App to access your phone call logs",
        buttonNeutral: "Ask Me Later",
        buttonNegative: "Cancel",
        buttonPositive: "OK",
      }
    );
    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log("CALL LOG permission granted");
    } else {
      console.log("CALL LOG permission denied");
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

Have you defined the permission in app.json for android ? – Vicky Ahuja Feb 14 '22 at 16:25 — Vicky Ahuja, Feb 14 '22 at 16:25

Check if READ_CALL_LOG permission is there in your app.json, if no then add it like below

{
  "expo": {
    ....
    ....
    "android":{
      "permissions":["READ_CALL_LOG"],
      "package":"your package name here"
    }
  }
}

expo does not support READ_CALL_LOG permission. Please refer this issue in expo github.
