ionic 4: android permission not working after prod built

Question

I am using @ionic-native/android-permissions. My code in app.component.ts:

this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.RECORD_AUDIO).then(
          (result)=>{   
       if(!result.hasPermission)
       {
         this.androidPermissions.requestPermissions(
           [this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.RECORD_AUDIO, 
             this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.GET_ACCOUNTS]
            ).then(()=>{
             // this.rootPage = HomePage;
             window.location.reload();
            });

   }
     });

It is working when I do :

ionic cordova run android

or

ionic cordova build android

or

ionic cordova build android --release

But the app is not asking for permission if I add --prod. i.e. :

ionic cordova run android --prod

or

ionic cordova build android --prod --release

So the device mic is not working for the app.

the code seems correct. have you added the plugin correctly as stated in the docs? is the java code part of the apk? — Stefan
I don't think it's a coding issue. Because the app is working perfectly with notmal build. But for prod built I'm facing issue. Seems like its a bug in Ionic. Just wanted to check if someone have any solution. — Arijit

I had this issue, and i solved it by adding permissions to config.xml then, popup will show and ask client for permissions. add permissions to config.xml

<platform name="android">
....
<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="true" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
</config-file>
....
</platform>
