[Bug]: Permission popup not showing when requesting scheduleExactAlarm

[AndyDavidJoyce]

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

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

Please select affected platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Windows

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the app
2. Request setExactAlarm permission

Expected results

A permission popup asking the user to grant / deny access for the app to use exact alarm

Actual results

A permission popup does not display

Code sample

Request both notification and scheduleExactAlarm permissions. The notification permission popup does display but the scheduleExactAlarm popup does not. I have tried just requesting the scheduleExactAlarm permission by itself but that still does not work

  Future<void> requestNotificationPermission() async {
    await [Permission.notification, Permission.scheduleExactAlarm].request();
  }

Hi @AndyDavidJoyce, thank you for filing this bug report!

I created a PR to fix the issue: #1138. Should be resolved soon!

[AndyDavidJoyce]

@JeroenWeener I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly on this issue!

Thanks for raising the PR. To confirm, does the PR include a fix for showing the initial permission popup? Reading through your description the PR just seems to talk about opening the settings page?

[JeroenWeener]

@AndyDavidJoyce it seems that Android does not show a permission dialog for this permission. The only way to change it is by opening the settings page: https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/alarms#using-schedule-exact-permission. Android does this for select permissions. Another example is the request_install_packages permission.

@JeroenWeener ahh got it! Sorry for not looking into it in more detail before raising the issue!

[JeroenWeener]

No problem @AndyDavidJoyce. I am happy you raised the issue so we could resolve it!
