Could you share the following details, I was unable to reproduce the issue

Do you have any other SDKs installed?
What devices are you seeing this issue on and what version of iOS are they using?
Could you reproduce this issue in a new project and share it with us?

I found the problem. I was calling OneSignal.User.PushSubscription.OptIn(); before calling OneSignal.Notifications.RequestPermissionAsync(true). I think "OptIn" shows permission prompt, if called first. I don't know this is a bug or by design.

[shepherd-l]

Yes this is by design

OptIn() will display the permission prompt if the user hasn’t been prompted. If the user has already been prompted and the app’s settings has notifications permission disabled, the user will see a prompt to direct them to the settings app.

We created OptIn() as a shorthand method for developers to use. OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermissionAsync() can be used for more control.

Let me know if you have any questions

And thanks for the feedback, I plan on updating our documentation to make this more clear.
