Not requesting for permissions popup for android 6 and above.

Hello, I am trying to integrate the code in ionic 1. I am not getting the popup of requesting permission on android 6 and above both emulator and android phones.

Please find my code below

app.js

$ionicPlatform.on('deviceready', function(){
var permissions = cordova.plugins.permissions;
     permissions.hasPermission(permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, function(status) {
            if (status.hasPermission) {
              alert('you already have permission');
            } else {
              alert('need to request permission');
              permissions.requestPermission(permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, successCallback, errorCallback);

              function errorCallback() {
                alert('permission not turned on');
              }

              function successCallback(status) {
                if (status.hasPermission) {
                  alert('user accepted, here you can start your own plugin');
                }
              }
            }
          });
});

AndroidManifest.xml

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Actually just “solved” my permission issue on android by going into the AndroidManifest.xml file and manually adding the line <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />.

Now the pemission gets asked via the popup if not present.

Even I am facing the same issue. I have tried upgrading the cordova-android version to 7.1.0. But still the permission popup is not popping out.
