[Bug]: Update deployment target to 11+

[aetherity]

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

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

Please select affected platform(s)

• [ ] Android
• [ ] iOS
• [ ] Linux
• [x] macOS
• [ ] Web
• [ ] Windows

Steps to reproduce

Cannot get location services to work on latest macOS. s.osx.deployment_target = '10.11'. Warnings about deprecated authorizationStatus. "The macOS deployment target 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.11, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 10.13 to 15.4.99."

Should the deployment target be upped to 11+?

Expected results

Permission granted

Actual results

"User denied permissions to access the device's location."

Code sample

bool serviceEnabled = false;
LocationPermission permission;
String locationServiceStatus = '';
String locationWhenInUseStatus = '';

  // Test if location services are enabled.
  serviceEnabled = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();
  // Set the location service status
  locationServiceStatus = (serviceEnabled)  ? 'Enabled' : 'Disabled';
  if (!serviceEnabled) {
    locationWhenInUseStatus = 'Unknown';
  } else {
    permission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
    if (permission == LocationPermission.denied) {
      // Request permission
      permission = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
      }
    switch (permission) {
        case LocationPermission.denied:
          locationWhenInUseStatus = 'Denied';
          break;
        case LocationPermission.deniedForever:
          locationWhenInUseStatus = 'Denied Forever';
          break;
        case LocationPermission.always:
          locationWhenInUseStatus = 'Always';
          break;
        case LocationPermission.whileInUse:
          locationWhenInUseStatus = 'When In Use';
          break;
        default:
          locationWhenInUseStatus = 'Unknown';
      }
    }
  if (locationWhenInUseStatus  == 'Always' || locationWhenInUseStatus  == 'When In Use'){
      // Finally get current location
      final Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition();
      // Save the location details
      double latitude = position.latitude;
      double longitude = position.longitude;
      double altitude = position.altitude;
  }

Dear @aetherity,

When I do a flutter build macOS it updates the platform :osx, to '10.14'. Perhaps this helps. Maybe you can do a flutter clean flutter build macos.

Kind regards,

[dumabg]

I have the same problem. After flutter clean and flutter build macos, the error continues the same.
