Using requestBluetoothAuthorizattion when state is unauthorized throws a native API misuse error on iOS

[andreacab2]

Bug report

CHECKLIST

• I have read the issue reporting guidelines
• I confirm this is a suspected bug or issue that will affect other users

• I have reproduced the issue using the example project or provided the necessary information to reproduce the issue.

• I have read the documentation thoroughly and it does not help solve my issue.

• I have checked that no similar issues (open or closed) already exist.

Current behavior:

When you click on "Request Bluetooth Authorization" when the bluetooth state shows "UNAUTHORIZED", you are not asked to authorize anymore and in the native logs, it fails with a native error API MISUSE telling that the CBCentralManager needs to be in powered_on state (look for MISUSE in the native logs trail pasted below).

I have used the example code of the cordova-diagnostic-plugin and was able to reliably reproduce the issue.

Expected behavior:

To my understanding, using diagnostic.requestBluetoothAuthorization should ask again for authorization specifically in the case where the bluetooth state is UNAUTHORIZED to change it to AUTHORIZED

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install this plugin example on an ios phone
2. Deny the bluetooth permission for this plugin example's app
3. launch this plugin example's app
4. Click on monitor bluetooth change
5. Blutooth state should be UNAUTHORIZED, Bluetooth authorization status should be DENIED_ALWAYS
6. Click on "request bluetooth authorization", nothing happens.
7. Check the native logs, using xcode for example, you can see the API MISUSE logs stating that this call to "request bluetooth authorization" can be done only when the state is powered_on

We are experiencing exactly this issue.

[dpa99c]

On iOS there is no explicit method in the iOS Bluetooth manager to request permission.
Instead, any interaction with the native Bluetooth Manager class - even initialising it - causes the Bluetooth permission dialog to be shown to the user.
Hence if you call getBluetoothState() or registerBluetoothStateChangeHandler() after a fresh app install, the permission dialog will be shown because the plugin has to init the Bluetooth Manager in order to check the Bluetooth state.

Once the user has denied Bluetooth permission - either by pressing "Don't Allow" in the permission dialog or switching off Bluetooth permission on the app's Settings page - it is not possible to programmatically request it again (i.e. show the dialog).
At this point, the app must show a message to the user requesting them to manually re-enable Bluetooth.

So the current implementation is misleading as it indicates that it can programmatically recover from Bluetooth being unauthorized - it cannot.

I'll push a commit which handles this situation more gracefully.
