[Bug] System Location Permission popup is not showing up on android 11 using permission.RequestAsync()

[rohanmpalan]

The

Steps to Reproduce

public static async Task<bool> CheckPermissionLocation<T>(T permission) where T : BasePermission
       {

           var status = await CheckAndRequestPermissionAsync(permission);

           if (status == Xamarin.Essentials.PermissionStatus.Granted)
               return true;

           return false;
       }
       public static async Task<Xamarin.Essentials.PermissionStatus> CheckAndRequestPermissionAsync<T>(T permission)
             where T : BasePermission
       {

           var status = await permission.CheckStatusAsync();

           if (status == Xamarin.Essentials.PermissionStatus.Granted)
               return status;

           if (status == Xamarin.Essentials.PermissionStatus.Denied)
           {
               // Prompt the user to turn on in settings
               // On iOS once a permission has been denied it may not be requested again from the application
               if (DeviceInfo.Platform == DevicePlatform.Android)
               {
                   status = await permission.RequestAsync();

                   if (status == Xamarin.Essentials.PermissionStatus.Granted)
                       return status;
               }
           }
           status = await permission.RequestAsync();

           return status;
       }

System Permission popup should open and ask to allow location permission.

Actual Behavior No popup pops asking permission

Can you please provide a reproduction project? The permission code today works as is.

I can confirm this bug with camera permission. Due to client restrictions I can't share my project (sorry about that), but you can check the GitHub repository from JimmyPun610/BarcodeScanner.XF on android 11. This works on iOS... Workaround: Have to set permissions manually. Using Version 1.6.1 and forms 5.0.0.1932.

Please double check for location -> #1580 (comment) as this is working for me.

Ensure you have the proper setup for your android project
