Steps to reproduce

I started having an error when building iOS release file with flutter build ipa and the same error when trying to launch a an app in debug mode, while everything has built correctly yesterday on the same version.

Downgrading to 11.0.0, which uses permission_handler_apple version 9.1.4, solves the issue, although it was working fine on the latest release, 11.1.0. Any ideas? I have re-installed the permission_handler with no effect. Removed podfile & ran pod install, flutter clean, anything I could think of..

Android build works good so far

Expected results

App builds and runs without issue

Actual results

my-app % flutter build ipa

The same problem occurs

[TimHoogstrate]

Dear @lisovyk and @hjr19911126,

It looks like you both are using an older version of Xcode. Please update Xcode to version 15 or above, or use the 11.0.0 for your project. The new permission_handler manages iOS 17 features that are not yet available on Xcode 14. We could add a compiler check to prevent this from happening on older Xcode versions. But this is not something that we are fixing soon.

Kind regards,

[JakeHadley]

@TimHoogstrate I still get this error when using 11.0.0. I'm on xcode 14 and can't upgrade to 15 because my mac is too old lol. Is there another workaround? I ended up moving back to 10.4.5 and got it to build. But on an ios emulator, attempting to get calendar/events permission shows the popup dialog for a split second, and then it disappears and shows as permanentlyDenied. The other permissions work great.

Edit: I guess this was a previous issue per https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-permission-handler/issues/1188. Major bummer feeling like I have to get a new laptop just to run this library properly.

Build now broken, what can i revert to or is there another plugin that does this so i can not have this be a blocker?
