Description

In KitchenSink->Phone->App Badge when trying to set the App Badge the console prints out the statement below. The App Badge property can't be set by using either the set method or changing the property because of this. The attached app.js is a test case which can be used to reproduce. *Notes* This is a regression as the test case can be used to set the App Badge on both an iOS7 and iOS6 device.

[INFO] :   Attempting to badge the application icon but haven't received permission from the user to badge the application

1. Add the attached app.js to a project and build to and iOS8 Device/Simulator. 2. Tap the either of the Set App Badge labels

Actual Result

As of iOS8 permission is required to set the appBadge. The ability to request permission was added by TIMOB-17510 . KitchenSink needs to be updated to request permission to set the appBadge. PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink/pull/29
