same problem here

@chocky335 have you tired both together?
uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"
I am wondering if the 2 permissions would cover all the version of Android from 4.x to 8.0

Same problem here. I do have an external library that uses a vibration that works just fine, so obviously the permission is working for some things. I just can't use the React Native built-in vibration system.

Thanks for posting this! It looks like you may not be using the latest version of React Native, v0.53.0, released on January 2018. Can you make sure this issue can still be reproduced in the latest version?

I am going to close this, but please feel free to open a new issue if you are able to confirm that this is still a problem in v0.53.0 or newer.

I'm having same problem on RN 0.53.0 with

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>

but

<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>

works.

We are experiencing the same issue.
In a native project, this will work
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
But when using Vibration from React-Native only using:

<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>

works and only for Android 6+. android < 6 will crash.
