[Bug]: .request returns permanently denied, but status only denied

[blingkonnerth]

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• I have searched the existing issues.
• I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Windows

Steps to reproduce

Add any kind of permission, e.g. Permission.notification and deny the native popup.

When checking the status, there are two way:

1. await Permission.notification.status
2. await Permission.notification.request()

Expected results

I expect to get the same status for both variants.

Actual results

But:

1. status -> .denied
2. request -> permanentlyDenied

The 2nd is what I actually need, because otherwise I don't know if the native request was done before.

I couldn't find anything about this, but it seems a quite important missing feature/bug, at least for me.

I had the same issue but fixed it by adding the following code in to the podfile:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      # You can remove unused permissions here
      # for more infomation: https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-permission-handler/blob/main/permission_handler_apple/ios/Classes/PermissionHandlerEnums.h
      config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
        '$(inherited)',
        ## dart: PermissionGroup.notification
        'PERMISSION_NOTIFICATIONS=1',
      ]
    end
  end
end
