## What it is
A React Native library providing a unified permissions API across iOS, Android, and Windows. It lets apps check, request, and manage device permissions like camera, location, and notifications through a single JavaScript interface.

## Use cases
- request camera permission in a react native app
- check location permission status on ios and android
- ask for notification permissions cross-platform
- handle bluetooth permission prompts in react native
- manage photo library access permissions
- detect if face id permission is granted

## When to choose
- you build a React Native app needing device permissions on iOS, Android, or Windows
- you want one consistent permissions API instead of platform-specific native code
- you need fine-grained control over which iOS permissions are compiled into your build

## When to avoid
- you build a native-only app without React Native
- you only target web or desktop platforms outside Windows
- you need permissions for platforms this library does not support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: authorization, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, cross-platform, security
- platform: windows
- tags: react-native, permissions, mobile, unified-api, ios, android
