requestPermission(..) never returns if request has been denied by the user

I expect that a call of cordova.plugins.permissions.requestPermission will always trigger the success callback, even if a user decides that a permission shall not be granted.

Example:

cordova.plugins.permissions.requestPermission(
  cordova.plugins.permissions.CAMERA,
  // I expect this callback to be called, even if the user clicks "DENY".
  // Unfortunately this is not the case.
  p => console.log(`Permission granted: ${p.hasPermission}`),
  e => console.log("An error occured.", e)
);

@kristopolous , I am using this plugin and when I select the “Deny” option, the app just gets closed/crashed. Am I missing anything?

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)
        }
    )
}
