Android Player splash screen freezes when asking for microphone permission.

When running a freshly installed copy of the game on an Android device for the first time, a dialogue appears asking for permission to access the microphone at the end of the splashscreen. Upon selecting 'allow', the microphone access is granted but the app is frozen at the end of the splashscreen. When closing and reopening the app after allowing permission, the game no longer freezes. The issue only affects the first run of the game because in subsequent runs, it already has microphone permission so does not need to ask for it and does not freeze.

Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening on the Android apk? This issue doesn't affect other platforms.
