Android - when ever my app is installed, by default "No permission allowed" is set?

Question

My app when-ever is installed via Google Play or USB (which use microphone, camera just like all other general app), by default the app gets "No permission allowed".

As a result it never works after the installation as fresh install.

Unless someone manually go in the app settings and change it.

What am i doing wrong? why its causing default into permission denied mode?

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

You need to set permissions for Marshmallow and above devices in code. Plugin provides this capability as well.

Sample reference mentioning the same Even if it is mentioned for ionic, same methodology needs to be used in cordova projects

To get permission status , replicate like following.

cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getPermissionAuthorizationStatus(function (status) {
  console.log(status);
  switch (status) {
    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.runtimePermissionStatus.GRANTED:
      //call the target method
      break;
    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.runtimePermissionStatus.NOT_REQUESTED:
      setPermission();
      break;
    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.runtimePermissionStatus.DENIED:
      setPermission();
      break;
    case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.runtimePermissionStatus.DENIED_ALWAYS:
      setPermission();
      break;
  }
}, this.errorCallback, cordova.plugins.diagnostic.runtimePermission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);

And to request authorization

function setPermission() {
  cordova.plugins.diagnostic.requestLocationAuthorization(function (status) {
    switch (status) {
      case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.NOT_REQUESTED:
        break;
      case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.DENIED:
        break;
      case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.GRANTED:
        //TODO : Call native plugin.
        break;
      case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.GRANTED_WHEN_IN_USE:
        break;
    }
  }, function (error) { }, cordova.plugins.diagnostic.locationAuthorizationMode.ALWAYS);
}
