I don't find anything in Compose docs regarding how to request Android permissions? ...

Which we specifically call out in the docs: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/libraries#requesting-runtime-permissions

[Mehdi Haghgoo]

Yes, it's there in the documentation. Thanks

Strangely, though, the following code does not work:

val recordAudioPerm = rememberPermissionState(android.Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)
Button(onClick={
if (! recordAudioPerm.hasPermission) {recordAudioPerm.launchPermissionRequest()}
}
){
Text("Record")
}

I mean, the permission prompt is never shown, and debugging shows that the value of recordAudioPerm is true!

Turns out I was running the code on an Android 5.0 device!

Runtime permissions work only with Android M+.

ha, yeah that'll do it
