Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: When requesting an account using the ACAccountStore's -requestAccessToAccountsWithType:options:completion: method, on the iPhone and iPad simulators no permissions dialog is shown.

Steps to Reproduce: 

- (void)getTwitterAccount
{
    ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
    ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
    
    [accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType options:nil completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
        if(granted) {
            NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
            
            if ([accountsArray count] > 0) {
                ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
                NSLog(@"%@",twitterAccount.username);
                NSLog(@"%@",twitterAccount.accountType);
            }
        }
    }];

}

Expected Results: An alert box with options to grant access or not to one's account.

Actual Results: No alert box is shown and permission is granted.

Also doesn't run the completion routine

This is serious for me, because I have work to do in the completion routine -- which is never called (at least for Facebook accounts) on the simulator. No error is generated, it just doesn't call the completion routine on any thread ever.
