Help wanted: Permission dialog not showing up in pgb

[bigreni]

I am using phonegap build. I am trying to get permission to access user location. I have added the geolocation plugin
<gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-geolocation" source="npm"/>

I have also added the diagnostic plugin to my config.xml
<gap:plugin name="cordova.plugins.diagnostic" source="npm" />

This is my code that runs after my deviceready event
cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getLocationAuthorizationStatus(function (status) {
switch (status) {
case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.NOT_REQUESTED:
cordova.plugins.diagnostic.requestLocationAuthorization(function (status) {
}, function (error) {
console.error(error);
});
break;
case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.GRANTED:
break;
case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.DENIED:
cordova.plugins.diagnostic.requestLocationAuthorization(function (status) {
}, function (error) {
console.error(error);
});
break;
case cordova.plugins.diagnostic.permissionStatus.DENIED_ALWAYS:
break;
}
}, function (error) {
console.error(error);
});

I would expect the user to get a popup when they first install the app asking them to grant permission. I have tested on a phone with Android 6 and there is no dialog. Can you please tell what am I doing incorrectly? Thank you for your help.

Very probably related to #254:
TL;DR: Latest version of Phonegap Build CLI no longer supports <config-file> blocks to insert <uses-permission> into AndroidManifest.xml.

Thanks for pointing me to the other thread. I got it to work. I am using version pgb version 6.5 which supports . I added the following to my config.xml and it works.

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<gap:config-file platform="android" parent="/manifest" mode="add">


</gap:config-file>

Hopefully this will help other people using pgb.
Thank you again.
