Description

In my app I call the camera plugin like this:

    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {

            //PhoneGap camera API
            navigator.camera.getPicture(
                function (imageLocalFilePath) { //Success callback
   
                    resolve(imageLocalFilePath);
                },
                function (errorMessage)  { //Error callback

                    reject(new Error(errorMessage));
                }, 
                 { //Image capture options
                    quality: 50,
                    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
                    encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
                    targetWidth: targetWidth,
                    targetHeight: targetHeight,
                    mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
                    correctOrientation: true,
                    saveToPhotoAlbum: useCameraRoll
                });
        });

When this code runs on my Asus Nexus 7 running Android 6.0 (API23) I get the permission prompt as expected when I click the take photo button within the app for the first time. I click the "Accept" button but the app immediately crashes with the following error, which seems to say that permission was denied:

My app is using Android platform 5.0.0 and Camera plugin 2.0.0

If I go into settings and manually enable the camera permission for my app, it works as expected. It also works as expected on older versions of Android.
