[Bug]: canRequestPermission is not working as expected

[Balaram-RJS]

What happened?

react-native-onesignal version 5.1.2 OneSignal.Notifications.canRequestPermission is not working as expected. Should it return true even if the user denied the native system prompt for android version 13. I am yet to check it for iOS.

Steps to reproduce?

doRegisterForRemoteNotifications = () => {
    OneSignal.Notifications.getPermissionAsync().then(granted => {
        OneSignal.Notifications.canRequestPermission().then(canrequest => {
            console.log('granted :: ' + granted);
            console.log('canrequest :: ' + canrequest);
            let doInit = Platform.select({
                android: () => {
                    OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermission(false);
                },
                ios: () => {
                    OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermission(false);
                },
                default: () => {},
            });
            if (granted === false && canrequest === true) {
                doInit();
            }
        });
    });
};

What did you expect to happen?

in the above code i would expect granted to be false and canrequest to be false if the user has denied the native system prompt.

hi,
Could any one confirm whether this is the intended behaviour

Hi @Balaram-RJS thank you for you patience!

canRequestPermission only returns true if the device has never been prompted for push notification permission. So if a user denies the prompt then it will return false.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns!

Hi @jennantilla ,

Thank you for taking out the time to reply,
but canRequestPermission is not working like that and if a user denies the system prompt it still returns true.
I have attached the device logs herewith.
