Describe the steps to reproduce it.

lib does not request for geolocation permissions in NS 6+ on using .enableLocationRequest() method. A simple log saying No v4 support is added to console each time instead The lib internally uses "nativescript-permissions": "~1.3.0" which is outdated(I think so!?). The library is currently at version 1.3.7 and is compatible with androidx according to the latest commits there.

Temporary solution

Installed the latest nativescript-permissions library manually
