We're seeing a lot of crashes from PermissionsModule not being able to access the current activity, mentioned in #10009 and here: #9310 (comment)

As far as I can tell, there is no way to ensure the Activity exists since the ReactContext holds a WeakReference to the current Activity and it appears that the lifecycle calls are happening in the right order (so not the same as #9310).

This will at least allow people to catch the error in JS and update the UI or try again as opposed to crashing the app.

I'm working on some bigger changes in #10221 but this is a smaller change and important to get fixed I think.

Hey guys, we're seeing a lot of crashes on Android and this should fix them. Could we get this commit in the 0.36 ?

Thanks!
