Flutter-permission-handler: iOS Compilation fails with 5.1.0

[igoriuz]

🐛 Bug Report

Expected behavior

Compilation works.

Reproduction steps

Using 5.1.0 with permissions for photos and camera.

I get the following errors:

@igoriuz I think this is a caching issue, could you please try deleting all permission_handler packages from your flutter cache?

Something like this (note to replace the ** with your username:

rm -rf /Users/**/development/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/permission_handler*

After that try running the following commands:

# Download all packages and dependencies
flutter pub get
# Make sure all previous builds are deleted and we start with a fresh environment
flutter clean

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you for your fast reply. It still not working after clearing flutters cache.

aaa I see what is going on, probably you have the 'PERMISSION_PHOTOS=0' in your ios/Podfile which instructs the compiler to remove the implementation of the PhotoPermissionStrategy and thus also the initWithAccessAddOnly method.

I will fix this shortly in with a hotfix (going to be version 5.1.0+2), in the meantime you can comment out this value in your ios/Podfile (or set the value to 1: 'PERMISSION_PHOTOS=1'). This will at least allow you to your code and continue development.

Your solutions works. Thank you! I would let that issue open so others can see it too. Feel free to close it, once a hotfix is released.

Hi @igoriuz, I have just release version 5.1.0+2 which has a proper fix for this problem.

Please upgrade to this version and undo the workaround change if you are not using the photo permissions in your app (otherwise you might receive a rejection when uploading your app to the Apple AppStore).

I will close this issue now, if you run into problems please don't hesitate to leave a comment here.
