iPhone contacts permission issue in 18.3 and above

We found an issue with contacts access for an application. Application is able to prompt contacts permission popup only when uninstalled and then installed. Once the app is closed permission is being revoked. Even when we change in Content & Privacy restrictions and also app permissions to have full access, still the application does not get the access until uninstalled and installed again. Request apple to have a look as soon as possible because most of the financial apps today relies on contacts access. Anybody else is facing the same issue?

What is your default Contacts account?

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.

Is this your corporate/organization/enterprise/School Management iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate//organisation/enterprise/School Management
If it is your device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organization/enterprise/School Management?
1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
2. Please contact the system administrator of the organization who provided the profile to you

Dear Sravan,

It is my personal device. I have no corporate accounts in my personal device. I don't understand how it matters. I believe contacts permission is to read mobile numbers saved in a phone. All other email contacts will be saved in their mail server. iOS cannot access them I believe

Thanks
