PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION isn't implemented yet?

[fabyeah]

I need to access the location info of user's videos and images.

Since Android 10 (API level 29) it is necessary to request ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission to access media location tags: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media#media-location-permission

But when I request the permission, I get an error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

Basically the same error as when requesting any non-existing permission string.

The permission is also missing from this list, even though it is rated as 'dangerous':
https://reactnative.dev/docs/permissionsandroid#permissions-that-require-prompting-the-user

So I'm guessing this permission isn't implemented in PermissionsAndroid yet? Is there any way to get this to work / work around this?

React Native version:

0.64.1

Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.

1. Add permission to Manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION" />
2. Request permission:

    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION,
      {
        title: 'Need media location permission',
        message: 'App needs to access the location info of your video',
        buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
        buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
        buttonPositive: 'OK',
      },
    );

Expected Results

Show prompt to grant permission.
