Android 11(R) - Ask Every Time permission - Denied

Question

Permission "Denied" status is returned when setting Microphone permission to "Ask Every Time" from the App info -> Permissions -> Microphone -> "Ask Every time".

Following code returns "Denied"

ContextCompat.CheckSelfPermission(Application.Context, Manifest.Permission.RecordAudio);

Permission "Granted" status is returned when setting Microphone permission to "Ask Every Time" from runtime system permission dialog.

Setting permission from device settings also should give permission status as "Granted".

Could you please help?

This issue occurs in Xamarin.Android.

From the App info -> Permissions -> Microphone -> Ask Every time, it means the app hasn't got the permission and just select a configure for permission. However, from runtime system permission dialog that mens you are requesting the premission. Once you choose Ask Every time on runtime, meanwhile it will get the permission. It is different with the Settings of mobile.

If setting Ask Every Time , the app need to request each time, it will return Granted status. Otherwise, each time will return Denied status. Therefore, you need to ask for permission on runtime.
