Essentials - Permission.RequestAsync skipped on Windows

[matt-goldman]

Description

Calling Permissions.RequestAsync<T>(); on Windows is skipped and a result of 'Denied' is returned without the user being prompted.

The user should be prompted to grant or deny the permission.

Issue does not occur on Andoird, iOS or macOS in my testing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new .NET MAUI app
2. Add a call to Permissions.RequestAsync<T>()
3. Run on Windows

Adding breakpoints shows that the call is skipped and the result is returned as denied.

Did you find any workaround?

No, I tried wrapping it in MainThread.InvokeOnMainThreadAsync to no avail. I've also tried wrapping it in a try/catch to see if there are any errors I've been missing, also to no avail.
