Does not fire failure or success callback when requestPermission() is called

cordova plugin does not fire a failure or success callback when requestPermission() is called on the very first install of the apk via USB cable or on emulator or from installing an APK build from disk. It does pop the dialog to request geo permissions fine, I grant it, but it never fires a callback. (?)

When i close the app and reopen, geolocation works, because i previously granted. But on very first install, callbacks for requestPermission() does nothing, so app is at standstill. Does anyone know what it could be? Tried on several phones, all identical behavior.

USING window.cordova.plugins:

requestCordovaPermissions() {
    var self = this;
    window.cordova.plugins.permissions.requestPermission(
        window.cordova.plugins.permissions.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
        function(status) {// <-------never fired
            if (status.hasPermission) {
                alert("permission granted") _ //never seen, even if i granted_
            } else {
                alert("unable to get geo location permissions")
            }
        },
        function(e) {//<------ never fired
            alert("Error : " + e)
        }
    )
}

cordova platform add android@x.x.x Just replace the x.x.x with the version you want.

If you update Cordova you will automatically get the latest version of cordova-android when calling cordova platform add android

It is often an issue of sequencing with these plugins. I have my students building apps using Google maps, geolocation, and other plugins. They have to get the sequence right so everything works properly. My demo app will crash if you rapidly click on the buttons to make multiple requestPermission calls at the same time. I would recommend updating your cordova-android version too.
