The check failure of invoking prints seems to be from an old commit, not from my changes. Happy to remove them if required though

Better to file a separate issue. This PR doesnt touch android

Hi @Hari-07 can this be merged this week? or can anyone share an update? iOS 18 has been out for 4 months now and this is causing issues for all users on that version

@s-alkami I'd love to, but Im not a maintainer of this package so I dont have the access necessary. If you want you can use our fork like mentioned above, we have been using it for a while with no issues

dependency_overrides:
permission_handler_apple:
git:
url: https://github.com/sodality-tech/flutter-permission-handler.git
ref: main
path: permission_handler_apple

If the team wants me to make any changes before it can be merged I'd be open to it
