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
