[Bug]: Request permission returns permanentlyDenied when iOS app minimized while permission dialog is open

[piotruela]

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• I have searched the existing issues.
• I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Windows

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

class MainApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MainApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: TextButton(
            onPressed: () async {
              final result = await Permission.notification.request();
              print(result);
            },
            child: const Text('Request Permission'),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
