It is possible, but unlikely.
Apple will give per-app prompts for system resources like location, but does not really have an iOS 'app prompts for permission to manipulate another app'.
These sorts of permissions are confusing to users, they imply an execution model where both apps will be guaranteed to be runnable side-by-side (rather than one suspended while the other executes), and provide efficient vectors to share privacy/tracking information across those boundaries about the user.
