[expo-location] requestForegroundPermissionsAsync() is never resolved on native iOS

[krisgerhard]

Minimal reproducible example

Reading from comments in the code this is a known problem but could not find a issue for it

What platform(s) does this occur on?

iOS

Did you reproduce this issue in a development build?

Yes

Summary

• Reset application to no permissions granted.
• Call Location.requestForegroundPermissionsAsync()
• Grant permission (same behaviour with "Only once" or "While in use".
• Location.requestForegroundPermissionsAsync() is never resolved.
• Reload app
• Call Location.requestForegroundPermissionsAsync()
• ☝️ resolves immediately (without displaying permissions modal) as permissions are already granted.

These issues are well documented in the code here and here

Is there are workaround or possible fix planned?
