What changed?
To handle this, we added a check to see if this request is new or if we had already resolved it.
If this has already been resolved in the past, we simply grant or deny it based on the current status.
If it is a new request, we proceed with the user.
Why?
There is a strange behavior in Android where we have recurring permission requests.
