Mapbox-gl-native: Dynamically grant permissions in UI tests

[Guardiola31337]

There are some tests excluded from being generated and/or ignored because a way to grant permissions dynamically in tests wasn't implemented.

There are some workarounds to grant permissions dynamically in tests.
Including:

• adb install -g
• PermissionGranter
• Grant permissions before tests

I think the latter would be the best approach.

Below all the activities that request Location permissions:
MyLocationTrackingModeActivity, MyLocationToggleActivity, MyLocationTintActivity, MyLocationDrawableActivity, LocationPickerActivity and MyLocationViewTest.

👍 Great thinking here, the wider the coverage the better.

That's the point!

We should revisit this now that the Android Testing Support Library 1.0 is here 🎉 because it includes a GrantPermissionRule.

Closing as this is no longer relevant for the Maps SDK. We are deprecating everything related to location and moving that into a LocationLayerPlugin. That plugin is already using the GrantPermissionRule mentioned above.
