You don’t say what programming language so I’m going to do this in Ruby, which is what I use:

is_displayed_button = nil
begin
  is_displayed_button = driver.findElementById("com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button").isDisplayed());
rescue NoSuchElementException
  # Don't need to do anything here as the button will be nil
end

if is_displayed_button
  <do whatever it is you need to do>
else
  <do the other thing>
end

So don’t think of this as an Appium issue, but a programming one. Surround the find in a rescue, recover, make a decision, finish the test.
