why you do not grand permission at driver start with capability:

```auto
capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.AUTO_GRANT_PERMISSIONS, "true");

```

if you need to clear app data on Android you just need to open driver with correct capabilities. check -\> [Different capabilities for different scenarios](https://discuss.appium.io/t/different-capabilities-for-different-scenarios/16694/3)

and to add permissions after reset add above capability to driver also thus you reset app and grand permission right on driver start.
