Grant Permissions Rule errors out while connecting to UiAutomation

[rahul-narkhede]

I keep getting these errors for few of my automation tests. Most of the times, on re-running the tests, it works fine again

I am granting permissions in the following manner

public GrantPermissionRule grantPermissionRule = GrantPermissionRule.grant(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
