expo-permissions returning Unrecognized Permissions for all persmissions

I am currently working on an app. I was working with react-native and expo versions 34. I've recently faced a big error with sending images to the server, and I tried updating these libraries to version 36.0.0, but since then, expo-permissions only returns errors in every use on iOS, the same error, in fact, written as:

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection

Error: Unrecognized Permissions: {
 notifications
}

I am using the following piece of code: 

const { status: existingStatus } = await Permissions.getAsync(
  Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS
);

The same error is occurring with the permission for getting the camera roll

I have tried updating the components involved in it until I got these versions of the components:

"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-36.0.0.tar.gz",
"expo": "^36.0.0",
"expo-image-picker": "^8.0.1",
"expo-module-scripts": "^1.1.1",
"expo-permissions": "~8.0.0",
"react-native-unimodules": "^0.7.0",

This is my situation. I've tried using both Permissions.askAsync and Persmissions.getAsync, and cleaned the cache and re-installed all the components, as per acording this issue in this github issue: https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/6533

Does anyone has any idea about this?

So, I've figured out one thing which is how to get the CameraRoll permission, but I'm still looking into the Notifications permission.

Instead of using Permission.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL), using this expo-image-picker method will give you the permission:

ImagePicker.getCameraRollPermissionsAsync()

This will properly ask for the permission to access the camera roll in expo 36.

expo-permission is deprecated now. You can request permission from the library you are using. In your query, you are requesting notification permission, so for that, you can install expo-notifications and request from that.

const { status: existingStatus } = await Notifications.getPermissionsAsync();
let finalStatus = existingStatus;
if (existingStatus !== 'granted') {
  const { status } = await Notifications.requestPermissionsAsync();
  finalStatus = status;
}
if (finalStatus !== 'granted') {
  alert('Failed to get push token for push notification!');
  return;
}

I shared the process for requesting permission for the notification. If you have any query feel free to ask.
