Every time you call DeviceMotionEvent.requestPermission() it shows the permission prompt, but it should remember and not show the prompt if it was granted (that's what all the native permissions do)

Sample app https://github.com/jcesarmobile/cordova-requestPermission-issue

run
cordova prepare
open platforms/ios/HelloCordova.xcworkspace
and run from Xcode on any iOS 13 device
click "Access DeviceMotions" and "Allow" on the prompt
run from Xcode again
click "Access DeviceMotions" again

the prompt is shown again, it should't because you already allowed it, DeviceMotionEvent.requestPermission() should just resolve.

Right, we should expose a delegate that allows application to persistently grant/deny permission.
