Permission conflict error, unable to use location, on expo 47 and SDK 31

[Goostavo]

Summary

The problem:
-> My app location permission is returning on request never_ask_again.
-> I added ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION on app.json file. But the Google Play refuses the App due double implementation.

---

The cause:
The lib uses uses-permission-sdk-23 and expo uses uses-permission directives. So the config/plugin is doubliing the configuration.

When using the option neverUseForLocation it manually adds the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION with maxSdk and blocks the location permission on newer devices.

It is added on this file: https://github.com/expo/config-plugins/blob/b86291107ec646aee5aee66362e182ec541caf34/packages/react-native-ble-plx/build/withBLEAndroidManifest.js

---

Workarounds:

1. Manually remove the double permissions added by the config plugin.
2. Remove the neverUseForLocation option.

Reproducible demo

Generated AndroidManifest.xml (Without explicit ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.qualityhub" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
  <uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30"/>
  <uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30"/>

Generated AndroidManifest.xml (With explict ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION on app.json)
