Republic Wireless App Constantly Asking for Recording Audio Permissions

Symptoms

• Unable to make or receive phone calls
• Receive notification asking to grant the Republic Wireless App record audio permissions
• After hitting "allow," the main Settings screen appears

Environment

• All Motorola 3.0 phones
• Huawei Ascend 5W
• Samsung S8

Resolution

1. Open the Settings app
2. Tap apps
3. Scroll down and tap Republic Wireless
4. Tap Permissions
5. Make sure that the microphone switch is toggled to the right

Cause

Tapping Allow in the Republic Wireless prompt is leading to the Settings app instead of accepting the app permissions. 

Additional Notes

While in the Permissions menu, be sure that along with microphone that the following permissions are also granted for the Republic app:

• Location
• Phone
• SMS

Contacts and Storage aren't needed but enabling those options won't cause any issues
