The app asks for permissions when calling the method that requires permissions (BackgroundMode and Geolocation) Both cordova plugins

It was working fine on Capacitor 2

Code Reproduction

public async checkBackgroundPermission() {
    try {
      const result = await this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(
        this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
      );
      if (!result || result.hasPermission === false) {
        this.requestPermissions();
      }
    } catch (error) {
      this.requestPermissions();
    }
  }

  private async requestPermissions() {
    try {
      const data = await this.androidPermissions.requestPermissions([
        'android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION',
        'android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION',
        this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
        this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION,
        this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.FOREGROUND_SERVICE,
        this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS,
      ]);
    } catch (error) {
      await alert('Error : ' + error);
      console.log(error);
    }
  }

When you target SDK 30 you can’t request background location permissions with other permissions, you have to do it separatelly

Caution: If your app targets Android 11 (API level 30) or higher, the system enforces this best practice. If you request a foreground location permission and the background location permission at the same time, the system ignores the request and doesn’t grant your app either permission.
