Current behavior:

As mentioned in this closed issue, on a fresh install of the app on iOS, when the user gets prompted to give access to camera roll and chooses Select photos... option and once you close the native popup where you select the photos, the plugin returns denied_always as permission status. Only on the second time of trying to select a photo, it will return the proper permission limited.

// example code inspired by the plugin doc snippets
cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getCameraRollAuthorizationStatus(function (authorizationStatus) {
    switch (authorizationStatus) {
        case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.NOT_REQUESTED:
            console.log("Permission not requested");
            cordova.plugins.diagnostic.requestCameraRollAuthorization(function(status){
                console.log("status", status) // Output: "status denied_always"
                switch(status){
                    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.DENIED_ALWAYS:
                        console.log("Permission denied");
                        break;
                    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.GRANTED:
                        console.log("Permission granted to access all photos");
                        break;
                    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.LIMITED: // iOS 14+
                        console.log("Permission granted to access limited set of photos");
                        break;
                }
            }, function(error){
                console.error(error);
            }, cordova.plugins.diagnostic.photoLibraryAccessLevel.READ_WRITE);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
});

Expected behavior:

Plugin returns limited status when the user chooses to give Select photos permission on clean install.

Steps to reproduce:

Use the short code snippet, choose Select photos as permission.
