Cordova Android 7.1.1 (Android API 27 - 8.1) app crashes

In my Ionic v1 Cordova application I been using the following plugin

NeoLSN/cordova-plugin-android-permissions

, I can export the build and the app opens up on both 8.0(API 26)and 8.1 (API 27), but on 8.1 (API 27 and above) the app crashes when it try to ask permission.

I am using the following permission as per the plugin documentation

permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE, permission.CAMERA, permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, permission.BLUETOOTH, permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED, permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

The same build works properly on Android 8.0 device

Output from the emulator
