Oct 13, 2025 by magicalceylontours.com 141 views

Introduction

Are you experiencing issues with calendar permissions in your iOS app? You're not alone. Many developers have reported that the Permission.Calendar is deprecated in permission_utils.dart, making it impossible to access calendar permissions in their apps. In this article, we'll delve into the issue, explore the expected behavior, and provide a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce the problem.

Understanding the Issue

The Permission.Calendar is deprecated in permission_utils.dart, which means it's no longer supported and may be removed in future updates. This has caused issues for developers who rely on calendar permissions in their apps. The expected behavior is to update the Permission.Calendar to CalendarFullAccess, but this hasn't been implemented yet.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is to have a working calendar permission system that allows users to access their calendar events and permissions. This would involve updating the Permission.Calendar to CalendarFullAccess, which would provide full access to the user's calendar.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

Create a new app: Start by creating a new app using FlutterFlow.
Enable Calendar in Permission: Go to the permission settings and enable the calendar permission.
Try getting calendar permission: Attempt to get the calendar permission using the Permission.Calendar method.
You won't be able to access: Unfortunately, you won't be able to access the calendar permission due to the deprecated Permission.Calendar.

Reproducible from Blank

The steps to reproduce the issue start from a blank project. This means that even if you create a new project from scratch, you'll still encounter the same issue.

Bug Report Code

The bug report code is not publicly available due to security concerns. However, we can provide a sample code snippet that demonstrates the issue:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:permission_utils/permission_utils.dart';

class CalendarPermissionExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _CalendarPermissionExampleState createState() => _CalendarPermissionExampleState();
}

class _CalendarPermissionExampleState extends State<CalendarPermissionExample> {
  bool _hasPermission = false;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _checkPermission();
  }

  Future<void> _checkPermission() async {
    final permission = await Permission.calendar.request();
    if (permission == PermissionStatus.granted) {
      setState(() {
        _hasPermission = true;
      });
    } else {
      setState(() {
        _hasPermission = false;
      });
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Calendar Permission Example'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Text('Has permission: $_hasPermission'),
            ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: _checkPermission,
              child: Text('Check permission'),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
