Hi @praveen-francium ,

You should comment out the permissions you are using, so in this case "PERMISSION_EVENTS=0", should be # "PERMISSION_EVENTS=0",

[praveen-francium]

@danielroek Thanks for the reply,But i don't want access to calendar, i need access only to notification so i commented that one.But now why i need to change to #"PERMISSION_EVENTS=0"

[danielroek]

Did you add all the permissions to your Info.plist file? Apple rejects applications that do not specify the user-facing purpose String when using flutter_permission_handler.
The README states the following

IMPORTANT: You will have to include all permission options when you want to submit your App. This is because the permission_handler plugin touches all different SDKs and because the static code analyser (run by Apple upon App submission) detects this and will assert if it cannot find a matching permission option in the Info.plist. More information about this can be found here.

The original issue can be found here.

[praveen-francium]

@danielroek Yes ,i need only permission for notifications and i have added that in the Info.Plist but i don't need access to calendars but the issue i am facing while publishing to appStore is related to Calendar issue.So please help me how to overcome this issue. Also i have followed up exactly how the Podfile need to be as per the documentation,i have commented only the notification line,but i am facing this issue.

[danielroek]

This issue seems to be linked to this issue. Could you please try if updating your Podfile following the example works? Please let us know if this fixes your issue, that way we're able to update our documentation.

[praveen-francium]

@danielroek Thanks for the reply,but i have added the podfile to your reference i think i did the same as what been mentioned in the link you provided actually.Please take a look at my Podfile and suggest me what if i am doing anything wrong.Because i just replicated as per the documentation.So please take a look at my Podfile and suggest me the changes.Thanks

Readding the line mentioned in Ios set up solves the issue.

@praveen-francium excuse me, could you please share your solutions? Your helps would be appreciated.

Hi, I found the solution, and updated my app on the AppStore.
Open this file ios/.symlinks/plugins/permission_handler/ios/Classes/PermissionHandlerEnums.h:0
and set values
0 - for not using permission.
1 - for using permission.

For an example: (I am using Camera, photos, location and notification permissions)
