Fixed 'Always Allow' for iOS (Path-Check#97)

* 1. Added RN permissions to dependencies.
2. Added location permissions in AndroidManifest.xml

* 1. Permissions now handled by react-native-permissions
2. If platform is iOS 12.x.x or earlier. Directly acquire 'Always Allow' permission
3. If platform is iOS 13.0 or later, redirect to app settings.
Apps cannot directly ask for 'Always Allow' post iOS 13.

* Added comments

* Added yarn.lock and Podfile.lock to gitignore

* No changes

* Added lock files

* Removed Podfile.lock
