Check for the setup part of the README.md file. Following setup guide under the iOS section, you should add permission config in your Podfile.

Thats because Flutter changed the structure of the podfile on v1.20.
The steps from the current setup guide dont work anymore for the new podfile structure as far as I know

maxmblack on 17 Aug 2020

Also running into this. Anyone have a workaround so far?

MisterJimson on 17 Aug 2020

Has anyone managed to solve it? I'm having trouble with the following permission: NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription

filipperodrigues on 19 Aug 2020

After re adding the changes required to the podfile as noted in the readme, I am no longer having this issue.

@MisterJimson
Hi. Can you share your podfile
