Cannot read property getPermissionStatus of undefined | react-native-permissions - react-native

Question

I'm getting this error when calling Permissions.check() using the react-native-permissions library
I'm using the code straight from the react-native-permissions README
componentWillMount() {
Permissions.check('photo').then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
}
I used react-native link to link it.
react-native link react-native-permissions
I'm pretty sure it's linked correctly because when I call Permissions.getTypes()
componentWillMount() {
console.log(Permissions.getTypes());
}
I get the following response:
React Native Version: 0.53.0
React Native Permissions Version: 1.1.1
Podfile
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'
target 'myApp' do
pod 'Stripe', '~> 11.2.0'
pod 'RNVectorIcons', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons'
pod 'BVLinearGradient', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient'
pod 'ReactNativePermissions', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-permissions'
end
Edits
I downgraded React Native to 0.52.0 as that's the last react-native-permissions updated their README and I still get the same error.

It turns out,
Permissions.getTypes()
works without linking.
I ended up having to follow the manual linking instructions here: using manual linking
Using manual linking
In the XCode's "Project navigator", right click on your project's Libraries folder ➜ Add Files to <...>
Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-permissions ➜ select ReactNativePermissions.xcodeproj
Add libReactNativePermissions.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
