My son had the same problem with the app permissions not being asked / granted on a Nvidia Shield K1 tablet, causing the app to crash to the android launcher/menu after pressing the "play" button (translated from dutch "Spelen"). After manually granting the app permissions MCPE launches without issues.
With minecraft pe app, the permissions where not allowed for the minecraft app to access contacts and storage and telephone - Howard Thornley #comment-390667
