requestPermission call on location object does not return on first call

_serviceEnabled = await location.serviceEnabled();
    if (!_serviceEnabled) {     
      _serviceEnabled = await location.requestService();     
      if (!_serviceEnabled) {
        return null;
      }
    }    
    _permissionGranted = await location.hasPermission();
    if (_permissionGranted == PermissionStatus.denied) {         
      _permissionGranted = await location.requestPermission();//this is where execution goes to die     
      if (_permissionGranted != PermissionStatus.granted) {        
        return null;
      }

Describe the bug I have the following code where I try to get location of the user. When this code is invoke for the very first time, the method requestPermission is where I get prompted on my phone for permission, when I press allowed, the method should return and execution continue.

It is worth noting that, if I do a hot reload during this perpetual wait, the request permission comes as granted (on this line _permissionGranted = await location.hasPermission()😉 without prompt.

Expected behavior When I allow permission on prompt, the program execution continue and the method requestMethod return a Future of PermissionStatus.

Tested on:

• Android, API Level 23, real device (Huawei)
• Not Tested On iOS

I also ran on API 28 PIXEL to same result.

I am using location: ^3.0.2

(Sorry about not putting the code in a code block above, for some reason, in a code block all the lines of code when being turned into one line)
