Description

If a plugin makes multiple permission requests before the user grants/denies them, only the last one will get returned. More importantly, requests from multiple plugins can interfere with each other.

For example, if Plugin A makes a permission request and then Plugin B immediately makes another permission request before the user grants/denies Plugin A's request, then Plugin A will never receive the results of its request (Android seems to return permission requests in reverse order of when they were made, so Plugin B will actually get the correct result back).

I've got a fix for this and will open a PR momentarily.
