Enable notifications permission not working

[amadeu01]

describe('Mobile test', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    await detox.init(config, { launchApp: false });
    await device.launchApp({ permissions: { notifications: 'YES' } });
  });

  describe('Smoke', () => {
    it('my test', async () => {
      mock.cardData.assignee = mock.signupData.profile.fullName;
      await Operator.signup(mock.signupData);
    });
  });
});

I'm trying to enable the permissions by using device.launchApp({ permissions: { notifications: 'YES' } }), however it seems not being called

I also tried to call applesimutils manually while the app is opened, however I don't know whether the detox uses a different bundle to run the test suite or not.

➜ applesimutils --byId "B2E486B7-8CD7-4B94-9969-3C6901591BD8" --bundle com.amadeu.mobileapp --setPermissions notifications=YES

I'm using an iPhone X simulator.

      "buildversion" : "16E226",
      "availability" : "(available)",
      "isAvailable" : true,
      "identifier" : "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-12-2",
      "version" : "12.2",
      "name" : "iOS 12.2"
