Expected Behavior

Permission requests should appear in sequence

Actual Behavior

The "...would like to access your Motion & Fitness Activity" request appears then is immediately overlaid by the "Allow ... to use your location" request, before the user has chance to accept or decline. See video here:

Steps to Reproduce

1. BackgroundGeolocation.start(); with no permissions granted
2. Observe system dialogs as above

Context

Request necessary permissions from the user for this plugin to work on iOS. (everything seems fine on Android with same code)
