Steps to reproduce

  1. Request for notifications permission on iOS (when current status is .denied meaning that it was not asked yet)
  2. Minimize the application by clicking home button/sliding up

Expected results

The dialog should either remain open or the PermissionStatus should stay as .denied.

Actual results

Dialog closes and Permission.notification.request() returns PermissionStatus.permanentlyDenied.
After refreshing the app the status is PermissionStatus.denied again

Code sample

Code sample

          child: TextButton(
            onPressed: () async {
              final result = await Permission.notification.request();
              print(result);
            },
            child: const Text('Request Permission'),
          ),
        ),
