I recently came across this problem and almost pulled my hair out. Whenever my application ran for the first time - on Marshmallow (API 23) or above - my application would ask for a few run time permissions.
As soon as the native runtime permissions dialogue appeared, the actual activity behind would finish.
I will be answering the solution myself
Make sure that android:noHistory attribute of the calling activity's entry in AndroidManifest.xml is NOT set to true. By default, it is false. But in case you have set it to true, the above issue will be produced
