Hello,
Do you have some news about macOS permission handler and this PR ? Thx

rasmusbe · 2023-01-13T14:19:32Z

Is it possible to add feature to request full disk access?

egyleader · 2023-03-24T11:57:02Z

me also waiting for this pr ,, mac os permissions is a necessary for any flutter app that is looking to support macOS platform so I think it should be a priority .

bvoq · 2023-04-03T14:36:19Z

Would also appreciate this a lot.

bvoq · 2023-04-04T11:39:46Z

Until this is merged, you can use:

  permission_handler:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/bvoq/flutter-permission-handler.git
      path: permission_handler
      ref: master

I also vote for this feature!

Hi @riccardo-lomazzi,

First of all, apologies for the very late reply. Due to shifting priorities and under staffing we unfortunately had to postpone our work on the open source plugins. Luckily we have resolved the staffing issue and made the open source plugins a high priority.

I really appreciate the effort put into this PR and I am hoping you would be able to make some changes so the macOS support for the permission_handler is inline with support for other plugins we host (e.g. https://github.com/baseflow/flutter-geolocator). The two major request would be to:

Create the macOS project as an Objective-C project instead of using the Swift language. We are aware Swift is a more developer friendly language, however by adding Swift to the project now adds another language to the project that developers need to understand and maintain. Since the iOS version is fully coded in Objective-C we'd prefer the macOS support to also be written in Objective-C.
Currently most of the code is duplicated between the iOS and the macOS project. For the geolocator project we use sym-links in the macOS project reusing the source code files from the iOS project in the macOS project. This way we only have to maintain the code in one place. Use preprocessor directives to add iOS or macOS specific code blocks:

#if TARGET_OS_OSX
#import <FlutterMacOS/FlutterMacOS.h>
#else
#import <Flutter/Flutter.h>
#endif

Please let me know if you are up for bringing this PR to a point we can merge it into the main repository. If not we would be happy to take over the PR and apply the necessary changes.

permission_handler_apple/.gitignore

This plugin maintains a .gitignore file in the root of the repository, therefore this file is not necessary and would add extra maintenance effort. Could you remove it from the PR?

mvanbeusekom · 2023-06-06T06:50:35Z

permission_handler/example/windows/flutter/generated_plugins.cmake

Please revert this file as it should not be related to adding macOS support.

This is most likely automatically generated by Flutter but I'd prefer to have this updated in a separate PR.

permission_handler_apple/analysis_options.yaml

Please revert this file, we maintain a version of the analysis_options.yaml in the root of the repository. This file will override the setting configured there.

Any specific reason why the comments have been removed? They were added on purpose for developers looking at this file to understand how permissions are mapped to the PermissionGroup enum.

If there is not specific reason for removing the comments, please rollback this change.

permission_handler_apple/example/macos/.gitignore

This plugin maintains a .gitignore file in the root of the repository. The **/Flutter/ephemeral/ and **/dgph entries are missing however.

Please add the missing entries in the root .gitignore file and revert this copy.

Hello @mvanbeusekom

the work I did here was barebones since I was required to implement these permissions in a company's project.

The reason I chose Swift was because

I lack experience in Obj-C
macOS Flutter plugins require Swift as the main language

I naively thought that I could help other people by sharing this PR, but I'm realising that most of the changes I did were a bit rough.

Right now I lack the time and the experience to do the work requested, so if you could please take in charge the PR it would be great.

Thank you.

This PR seems to aim to close #337.

hpelitebook745G2 · 2023-09-10T13:28:23Z

@bvoq are you able to update your README? i tried to add it in my pubspec.yaml but it seems it's not properly installed coz it's not found when i imported it.

bvoq · 2023-10-09T12:08:49Z

@hpelitebook745G2 It works fine if you import it directly via Github using the method I described above. You won't be able to download the plugin and use it offline without making some small changes. If you want to host it yourself, you will have to change all the pubspec.yaml references, see: riccardo-lomazzi/flutter-permission-handler@master...bvoq:flutter-permission-handler:master.
